← ScienceWhich consequence results when extreme pressure changes ionic crystal structure?
A)Increased electrical conductivity occurs
B)Reduced thermal expansion follows
C)Higher melting point is achieved
D)Covalent bond character increases✓
💡 Explanation
Increased pressure distorts the ionic lattice, favoring electron sharing. This induces increased covalent bond character because lattice energy influences bond type, therefore pressure-induced distortion favors covalent bonding rather than preserving purely ionic.
