Which consequence results when a sodium chloride crystal's edge fractures?

💡 Explanation

Edge fracture exposes similarly charged ions; thus increased repulsion results. Because the **Coulombic force** increases rapidly at short distances, stress concentrates at the crack tip. Therefore further propagation occurs, rather than forming metallic bonding.
