Answer

brittleness

Explanation

1. Identify the property of ionic crystalline solids Ionic crystalline solids are characterized by a rigid and brittle structure due to strong ionic bonds and a regular lattice arrangement.2. Determine the effect of force on ionic solids When hit with a hammer, the layers of ions shift, causing like-charged ions to align and repel each other, leading to shattering.
