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.
What solid would have the greatest tendency to shatter upon impact with a hammer metal metalloid or nonmetal?
A nonmetal would have the greatest tendency to shatter upon impact with a hammer, as nonmetals tend to be brittle and have weaker intermolecular forces holding their structure together compared to metals and metalloids. Metalloids and metals are typically more malleable and ductile, making them less likely to shatter upon impact.
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.
Why don't non metals shatter when dropped?
Glass is a non metal and it shatters when dropped.
Can you shape metals by hitting them with a hammer?
Yes.

Materials with bonds are brittle and shatter when they are hit with a hammer while those with bonds are malleable and can be beaten into shape with a hammer?
Materials with ionic or covalent bonds are brittle and shatter when hit with a hammer, such as ceramics or glass. In contrast, materials with metallic or metallic bonding, like metals, are malleable and can be shaped with a hammer due to the ability of the atoms to slide past each other without breaking.
What three elements would flatten when hit with a hammer?
The technical term for being able to be shaped with a hammer is "malleable." Metal elements are all malleable, so you can name any three of them. (gold, silver, platinum, aluminum, brass, bronze, etc.)
What type of bonds allow metals to flatten and shaped?
Metallic Bonds
Will alkali metals explode if you smash it with a hammer or a mallet?
No, the alkali metals will not explode if you smash them with either a hammer or mallet.
Why don't non metals shatter when dropped?
Glass is a non metal and it shatters when dropped.
Do iron nail break into pieces when hit by a hammer?

Can you shape metals by hitting them with a hammer?
Yes.
What metals aren't maleable?
Some examples of metals that are not malleable include bismuth, antimony, and tungsten. These metals are brittle and tend to break or shatter when subjected to bending or shaping processes.
Is metal maleable?
Most metals are, but some are ductile, and will shatter. For example, steel is malleable because it can bend and form new shapes, while another metal, such as graphite, tends to break or shatter, therefore, it is ductile.
Why does lead flatten into thin sheets when hit with a hammer?
Lead flattens into thin sheets when hit with a hammer due to its malleability, which allows its atomic structure to deform under stress without breaking. The layers of atoms in lead can slide over each other easily when force is applied, enabling the material to spread out. This property is a characteristic of metals, which can be shaped and formed through processes like hammering.
