Which effect sharply decreases NaCl crystal conductivity when cooled?

💡 Explanation

Decreased temperature reduces ion kinetic energy and thus mobility. Ion transport through the crystal (the main mechanism of conductivity) is hindered because thermal energy is insufficient to overcome lattice potential barriers, therefore conductivity drops rather than other temperature-dependent electronic effects.
