When a hammer strikes a compound formed by covalent bonds, the most likely outcome is that **it will break into many pieces**. Covalent compounds typically have molecules held together by strong covalent bonds, but these bonds are not as strong in terms of structural integrity as ionic or metallic bonds, especially when subjected to a significant force like that of a hammer strike. As a result, the compound is more likely to fracture rather than deform or maintain its shape.
