Why do crystalline solids shatter into shaped fragments when broken?
Crystalline solids shatter into shaped fragments when broken because of the regular arrangement of atoms in a crystal lattice. When a stress is applied to the crystal, the bonds between atoms break along planes of weakness, resulting in the formation of distinct shapes. This controlled breakage pattern is a characteristic of crystalline materials.
Do ionic compounds shatter when the crystals are struck?
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.
What happened when the piece of chalk was broken into pieces what there a change?
When a piece of chalk is broken into pieces, there is a physical change as the chalk is simply being divided into smaller fragments. The chemical composition of the chalk remains the same even though it is now in multiple pieces.
What can break a diamond?
A diamond can be broken using a number of methods. Gem cutters study the crystal structure of diamonds and then use a hardened chisel and a hammer to cleave them. Certainly placing a diamond on an anvil and striking it with a hammer will break the diamond. But that's a poor use of the tools and a waste of a diamond. The diamond is the hardest substance we know of, but it can be "broken" in a number of ways.
What are the ways where diamond can be broken to smaller pieces?
Best practices dictate that if you want any control whatsoever over the size and geometry of the smaller pieces, that you take your diamond to a diamond cutter and pay to have it 'broken' into smaller pieces. If you don't care about the smaller pieces, or the value of the diamond, you could hit the diamond with a hammer and see what happens.

What do mean by shatter oroof glass?
it has a tiny piece of film on one side of it that causes it to stay together when broken instead of separating off into a whole bunch of glass fragments
What can be broken but won't shatter?
a promise
Does the glass shatter proof film produced by 3 M company also makes it bullet proof?
The shatter proof film does increase the glass's resistance to being broken, and when it does get broken, the pieces are stuck together and don't collapse into sharp fragments. It in no way means the glass is unbreakable though, a strong enough force can make a hole. It certainly could not stop a bullet, which would punch right through it.
What is the name given to the sound of a broken glass?
The sound of a broken glass is commonly referred to as a "shatter" or a "crash."
When rocks are broken into smaller fragments?
soil
Can you re shatter a shatterd nose?
Sure. Any bone that's been broken before can be broken again.
How are windows made not to shatter when broken?
The thing around the glass keeps it together.
When the two main substances that make up a virus are broken into smaller fragments these fragments are what?
Amino acids and nucleotides
What is another word for shattered to pieces or reduced to fragments?
broken
What are pottery fragments?
Pottery fragments are broken pieces of pottery or ceramics that have been found at archaeological sites. These fragments can provide valuable information about the culture, technology, and trade of the people who created them. Archaeologists use pottery fragments to date sites and reconstruct ancient pottery-making techniques.
What rock can be broken into fragments that may later form sedimentary rocks?
Any rock (igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic) may be broken into fragments that may later be formed into sedimentary rock.
