Which mechanism causes increased resistance when nitrogen impurities distort a copper crystal lattice?

💡 Explanation

Increased Nitrogen introduces defects that disrupt periodicity; therefore, the dominant mechanism is scattering centers reducing the electron mean free path because electrons collide more frequently leading to greater electrical resistance rather than increased conductivity.
