Common chalk is calcium carbonate.


There exists an inter-molecular force of attraction between the water molecules and the ions of chalk.


The common chalk i.e, calcium carbonate is not made up of molecules, it's an ionic solid not a covalent compound.


So, water cause molecules in a piece of chalk to break apart.
