Answer:
When a large salt crystal is hit with a hammer, it breaks into smaller crystals. ... Because the hammer is metal it can disrupt the ionic charges in part of the crystal, causing it to break. If similarly charged ions are forced together, then the repulsive forces can cause the crystal to shatter along smooth planes.
