The chalk particles embed themselves into the small pores on the surface.
Although a chalkboard seems smooth to the touch, it is quite rough at the microscopic level, with <em>pores</em> that reach below the surface.
When you drag chalk across the board, friction causes small particles of chalk to rub off onto the surface.
If you leave the markings for a long time, some of the chalk particles will work their way into the pores.
A brush will remove the surface particles, but <em>it will not be able to get at the particles in the pores</em>.
To determine the shapes of molecules, we must become acquainted with the Lewis electron dot structure. Although the Lewis theory does not determine the shapes of molecules, it is the first step in predicting shapes of molecules. The Lewis structure helps us identify the bond pairs and the lone pairs.
