Because they're solids.
Because when something hits it, a layer of ions is pushed so that they are next to ions of the same charge. They are repulsed by each other and break.
Because they're not strong bonds.
Because when something hits it, a layer of ions is pushed so that they are next to ions of the same charge. They are attracted to each other and break.
