In most cases the crystal will shatter. The manner in which it shatters depends on the type of crystal.

What happens if w e hit iron nail with hammer?

When you hit an iron nail with a hammer, the force from the hammer drives the nail into the material (like wood) it is being inserted into. The impact causes the nail's pointed end to penetrate the surface, creating a hole and displacing the material around it. This process can also cause the nail to deform slightly, allowing for a tighter grip in the substrate. Overall, the hammer's impact transforms kinetic energy into mechanical work, securing the nail in place.


What happens to a metallic element when hit by a hammer?

When you hit a metal or non metal material with a hammer, the result will vary depending on the specific material. A non metal material can shatter, break, or flatten. A metal material may not have any damage or it may have a dent from the hammer.


Do iron nail break into pieces when hit by a hammer?

Yes, an iron nail can break into pieces when hit by a hammer, especially if it is made of brittle iron or if enough force is applied. The impact of the hammer can cause the nail to fracture and break apart into smaller pieces.


Will materials made of bonds shatter when hit by hammer?

A hammer will shatter some things that are chemically bonded, and will not shatter others. Glass, ice and even diamonds can be "broken" with a hammer. They are solids and have the quality of being brittle to a lesser or greater degree. But other materials will definitely not shatter when struck by a hammer. If you struck a tire with a hammer, you'd be hitting it all day without shattering it. (But if you cryogenically cool the rubber and hammer it, it will shatter with ease.) Whether or not a material that is chemically bonded will shatter when struck by a hammer depends on the material. We need to note, however, that the hammer will not generally break the chemical bonds themselves when the material shatters. The hammer just breaks the macroscopic (perhaps crystalline) structure of the material.


A hammer hits a nail the action to be the impact of the hammer on the nail what is the reaction?

The hammer exerts a force on the nail; the nail exerts a force on the hammer.

What would happen if you hit iodine with a hammer?

If you were to hit iodine with a hammer, it would most likely shatter into small pieces or powder. Iodine is a brittle solid, and its crystal structure would break upon impact from the hammer.

Does a crystal being hit by a hammer contain ionic or metallic bonds?

A crystal being hit by a hammer is more likely to contain ionic bonds, as these bonds are formed between ions of opposite charges. Metallic bonds are found in metals, where electrons are shared and contribute to the overall structure and properties of the material.


Why does an ionic crystal shatter when you pound it with a hammer?

When you pound an ionic crystal with a hammer, the strong electrostatic forces holding the ions together are disrupted, causing the crystal to shatter.


What happens when hit a hammer?

When you hit a hammer, the force is transferred to the object being struck, causing it to move or deform depending on its material and structure. The impact energy is absorbed by the object, potentially causing damage if excessive force is applied.

When minerals are hit with a hammer what happen?

When minerals are hit with a hammer, they may break, fracture, or shatter, depending on their hardness and crystal structure. Some minerals will form cleavage along specific planes, while others will show irregular fractures. This property can be used to help identify minerals based on their physical characteristics.
