It can be rough or smooth. If it is more broad-grained (granular), it will feel rough to you, but it can be very fine-grained, such as when it is in the form we call alabaster, and that will feel very smooth. You can also smooth out a rough piece of gypsum by polishing it.

Why it is possible to write on rough black board?

It is easy to write on a rough blackboard. The friction between the chalk and the rough surface is what allows the chalk to leave behind the chalk dust that we see. Actually it would impossible to write on a theoretically smooth blackboard. Without the friction, the chalk would not leave any residue!


Why is wet chalk not visible on blackboard but is visible when it dries?

Wet chalk on a blackboard appears less visible because the moisture creates a smooth layer that reflects light differently than the rough, dry chalk. When chalk is wet, it can also become translucent, allowing the blackboard's color to show through. As the chalk dries, it returns to a solid state with a rough texture that scatters light, making the markings more visible against the dark background.
