Best Answer

Some rocks are easily broken due to the weak bonds between the molecules in them. For instance, muscovite is easily torn because of the weak bond between the fourth silica in the silicate tetrahedron. There are strong bonds between some molecules and weak bonds between others. The breaks occur along the weak bonds.
