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.

Which one of the following is brittle sodium aluminium selenium or magnesium?
Selenium is the only brittle element among the four listed: The others are all metals, with the usual ductility of metals, but selenium is only a metalloid at most.
Why does sodium chloride shatter if you hit it with a hammer?
Its atoms are held together by relatively weak bonds... therefore - it doesn't take much force to separate them.
What is the opposite of hard that starts with the letters 'br'?

Why is sodium bicarbonate added to some caramel recipes?
Sodium bicarbonate acts by forming bubbles (indeed, when it is added, caramel thickens, moss and goes a little up like milk) and the bubbles make the caramel porous. So, it is brittle but does not paste.
