Is sodium brittle?
Sodium itself is neither brittle nor a compound. It is a soft metallic element. Compounds of sodium are often brittle because they consist of a crystal lattice of oppositely charged ions. These ions are arranged in a manner so that opposite charges (which attract) are as close as possible and like charges (which repel) are as far as possible from each other, resulting in a rigid structure. If a force is applied to this structure it can cause part of it to dislodge from the rest.
