The property of chalk that makes it particularly useful for writing on a chalkboard is its inability to dissolve in water.

Chalk is composed mainly of calcium carbonate, which is an ionic compound.

When it is used on a chalkboard, the chalk particles don't readily dissolve in water or the moisture present on the chalkboard surface.

Instead, they adhere to the board, allowing for smooth writing and clear markings.
