← ScienceWhich consequence results given thermal stress on magnesium oxide (MgO)?
A)Decreased ionic lattice energy occurs✓
B)Covalent character significantly increases
C)Metallic bonding becomes dominant
D)Van der Waals radius increases dramatically
💡 Explanation
Decreased ionic lattice energy will occur because increased thermal stress weakens electrostatic attractions within the crystalline MgO. Consequently, the lattice energy is lowered, rather than a gain in covalent nature involving electron sharing.
