Which consequence results when molten NaCl cools unevenly in a crucible?

💡 Explanation

Uneven cooling causes lattice strain and microcracks because ions solidify at different rates, leading to internal stress via differential contraction. This prevents perfect crystal formation (rather than increasing toughness); therefore lattice strain follows, rather than dislocation reduction.
