Salt is both strong and brittle. These properties relate to its atomic bonds. Examine a toothpick and try to bend it. Then imagine hitting the end of an upright toothpick with a hammer. Is a toothpick a good model for showing the strength and brittleness of salt? Explain your answer

Yes, the toothpick is a good model for showing the brittleness of salt.

Explanation: If you hit a toothpick on the end while it is upright it would splinter and break into several other pieces. The salt would to the same thing under pressure, it breaks into smaller, thinner pieces
