← ScienceWhich consequence inhibits crystal growth during rapid precipitation of calcium fluoride?
A)Impurity ion incorporation✓
B)Increased nucleating agent surface area
C)Higher fluid convective forces
D)Reduced solution supersaturation point
💡 Explanation
Impurity ion incorporation disrupts the growing crystal lattice via **non-isomorphous replacement** because foreign ions distort charge distribution, therefore inhibiting organized addition, rather than promoting surface nucleation or convective mass transport.
