Ionic solids are hard as they are made up of oppositely charged ions which are linked together with very strong electrostatic force.
These oppositely charged ions are arranged in the forms of layers.
When force is applied on ionic solids, ions rearrange so that ions of similar charge align i.e. like charges come over each other which results in electrostatic repulsion and the bonds break.
This is the reason why ionic solids are brittle.
