Why do crystalline solids shatter into shaped fragments when broken?

Yes, the glass is made up of millions of parts which is combined to one thing, so when they "freeze" or get "colder" it tends to shatter more easily.

Why do crystalline solids shatter into regularly shaped fragments when broken?
Because crystaline solids' atoms are linked by ionic bonding that gives regular geometric structure.
Sodium chloride crystals can be cube shaped?
Sodium solid is a Cubic Crystalline shape and, as the Chlorine is ionically combined with the solid, it doesn't alter the basic structure of the crystals.
What is the difference between crystalline and non-crystalline solids?
Crystalline solids exhibit cleavage: that is, when you break them, the nature of the break indicates the crystal structure. Thus, grinding a crystal of NaCl (which is cubic) inevitably produces small cubes of NaCl. Noncrystalline solids such as glass break into randomly-shaped pieces. Noncrystalline solids such as glass soften as the temperature increases and have no sharply defined melting point. On the other hand, quartz, which has the same chemical composition as glass but is crystalline, melts sharply at around 1650 degrees Celsius.

Is a substance that is malleable and ductile a metal or nonmetal?
Ductile metals are metals that5 can be shaped and pulled. Gold is a example of a ductile metal so in other words, yes it is a type of metals. Ductility is a property of some metals. It is also a property of materials other than metal.

What are the odd shaped cell fragments that blood clot?
Platelets
Solidified protein fragments shaped like the tubules in which they are formed are called?
casts
What is crystalline salt?
salts with crystals shaped like cubes... for example sodium chloride or calcium fluoride.
What is platlets?
Platelets are small colorless disk-shaped cell fragments that are involved in clotting blood. Platelets do not have nuclei and are found in large numbers in blood.

If a window is shot by a bb gun and doesn't shatter but instead leaves a conical shaped chip from one side of the window to the other how does this happen?
The BB didn't have enough power to shatter the glass but did have enough power to crack the glass from the point of impact. The energy traveled in an outward circle towards the inside of the window. Chipping off a piece.
What are plateletes?
Platelets are not cells, they are fragments of cells that were created when larger cells in the bone marrow broke apart. Platelets play an important role in blood clotting.

Do platelets have nucleus?
No, platelets are cell fragments. They do not have a nucleus.
Can you use real tea cups in a cupcake recipe?
Real teacups are not ovenproof - they will shatter if you try to cook with them. However some places (such as Amazon) sell teacup shaped ovenproof bakeware designed for baking cupcakes in .
Why the Philippines has been referred to as the pearl of the orient seas?
Scientists say that the Pilippines is shaped like a broken pearl.
