← ScienceWhich consequence results when supercooled liquid tin solidifies below 232°C?
A)Dendritic growth prohibits full crystallization✓
B)Recrystallization occurs due to increased entropy
C)Reduced heat capacity resists uniform heating
D)Rapid oxidation prevents large crystal formation
💡 Explanation
Dendritic growth occurs because interface instability leads to branching during solidification rather than planar advance. The latent heat dissipates unevenly; therefore, tree-like structures form rather than uniform crystals because heat extraction limits growth.
