Intermolecular force of attraction of chalk particles is weaker in respect to the intermolecular force of iron particles. This is the reason a chalk piece breaks into small particles by hammering but not iron pieces.Intermolecular force of attraction of chalk particles is weaker in respect to the intermolecular force of iron particles.
