← ScienceWhich mechanism limits the maximum solubility within molecular crystals?
A)Lattice strain from mismatched radii✓
B)Anharmonic phonon mode interference
C)Kinetic trapping of high entropy
D)Quantum tunneling between defect sites
💡 Explanation
Lattice strain reduces solubility in molecular crystals because substitutional defects induce distortions via steric interactions inhibiting crystal packing; therefore strain limits solubility rather than phonon interference or tunneling because these occur within specific temperatures.
