This makes the most sense. A lot of ionic compounds form salts which are crystalline and brittle in solid form. This is obviously homework but what a terrible question, right down to the punctuation.
Ionic compounds tend to shatter when struck with a hammer. This is due to the crystal structure formed by an ionic compound, which is basically repeating units of negatively and positively charged ions in some sort of geometric arrangement. When struck, ions of similar charge and pushed next to each other. These ions repel and the whole crystal will then cleave apart along the crystal pattern. example: Left undisturbed NaCl crystal, right struck Na Cl :crys.tal breaks along crystal pattern Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Na Cl Na Cl Cl Na Metallic bonds are better pictured as an electron sea, where all the metal atoms that are participating are freely sharing electrons amongst each other. Because of this there are no localized charges to repel each other, making metallic bonds far less susceptible to shattering.
Yes, ionic compounds tend to shatter when the crystals are struck because they have strong electrostatic forces holding the ions together in a regular lattice structure. When a force is applied to the crystal, these strong bonds are broken, causing the crystal to shatter into smaller pieces.
When a match is lit, the chemicals in the match head undergo a chemical reaction resulting in the production of heat, light, and new chemical compounds like carbon dioxide and water vapor. This transformation of the chemical composition of the match represents a chemical change.
The tree being struck by lightning is a chemical change because it involves a transfer of energy that can cause chemical reactions in the tree, such as burning or decomposition. This changes the tree's composition and cannot be easily reversed.
A very simple test for delamination in a bonded structural component. The material is tapped with a coin, and the sound is noted. If the sound is a clear metallic ringing, the material is good, and there is no delamination. But if the tapping produces a dull thudding noise, there is a good possibility that the laminations of which the material is made have begun to separate
Malleability is a property of all metals.

Yes. The US has struck patterns in multiple materials including plastic and wood. I have a Japanese 5 Fen coin (1945) that was struck in compressed fibers as well.

It involves a process of injecting hot epoxy into the club head to change the clubs sound and weight characteristics. This process typically eliminates the metallic sound of the club when the ball is struck and is also used to reduce ball spin. This process is normally limited to "tour" clubs.
A gong typically has a low pitch. It is a large, metallic percussion instrument that produces a deep and resonant sound when struck.

The hammer might have hit him to change into his passive voice.
A metallic object, like an umbrella with a metallic head, can act as a conductor for electricity and increase your risk of being struck by lightning during a storm. It is safer to seek shelter in a sturdy building or a car with a hard metal roof to protect yourself from lightning.
Nothing really happens to the person in a car when the vehicle gets struck by lightning as long as they remain in the car. Once a person touches a metallic part of the car and the ground at the same time, they run the risk of electrocution.
Yes, both sodium and potassium are sonorous. When struck, they produce a ringing sound similar to a bell. This is due to their metallic properties and ability to vibrate when hit.
What was your head struck by yesterday? (Some people would say "By what was your head struck yesterday?" but generally this sounds very formal or even stilted.)
