Aluminum tends to bend rather than shatter when hit with a hammer due to its malleability. The metal is softer and more ductile compared to brittle materials like glass or ceramics, allowing it to deform and change shape instead of breaking into pieces.
Gold is a very malleable metal, so hitting it with a hammer is unlikely to shatter it. Instead, it would deform and flatten under the force. If hit hard enough, it may create cracks or break if in a brittle form.
A diamond can shatter if hit with a hammer. While diamond is the hardest naturally-occurring mineral known, it is also brittle. The hardness means that it is difficult to cut, but the brittleness means that it is likely to splinter or shatter if enough pressure is exerted. In the case of a diamond hit with a hammer, the likelihood that the diamond will shatter will increase with the force of the hammer (based mostly on the weight) and will further increase if the diamond has any significant inclusions (indicated by a flaw in the diamond). Given the value of a diamond, it is highly recommended that you do not try this at home.
No, gold is a malleable metal known for its ductility and ability to deform without breaking. While it can be dented or scratched, it will not shatter like more brittle materials such as glass or ceramics when struck with a hammer.
If you hit solid ice with a hammer, it may shatter into smaller pieces. Liquid water would disperse under the force of the impact. Steam, as a gas, would not be affected by a hammer.
If a porcelain mug is hit by a hammer, it will likely shatter into multiple pieces due to the force of impact. Porcelain is a brittle material and is not very resilient to sudden impacts, so it is highly susceptible to breaking when struck with a hammer.
If you want spark when you hit something with a hammer, you should hit metal, preferably steel. That should give you the result you want.
If you hit it with a hammer, and it doesn't shatter but rather flattens, then yeah, it is real.
Yes, a sapphire can shatter if hit with a hammer, although it is a very hard stone with a high resistance to scratching. The impact from a hammer can create stress that exceeds its structural integrity, leading to fractures or shattering. However, the extent of damage depends on the force of the blow and the angle of impact.

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.
In most cases the crystal will shatter. The manner in which it shatters depends on the type of crystal.
If you hit solid ice with a hammer, it may shatter into smaller pieces. Liquid water would disperse under the force of the impact. Steam, as a gas, would not be affected by a 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.
If a porcelain mug is hit by a hammer, it will likely shatter into multiple pieces due to the force of impact. Porcelain is a brittle material and is not very resilient to sudden impacts, so it is highly susceptible to breaking when struck 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.
