← ScienceWhich outcome arises when cooling molten magnesium chloride?
A)Formation of a crystalline lattice✓
B)Increased electron orbital overlapping
C)Decomposition into constituent elements
D)Electron mobility remains nearly constant
💡 Explanation
Cooling molten magnesium chloride favors the strong electrostatic forces, the ionic bond, between Mg2+ and Cl- ions undergo Coulombic attraction, therefore a crystalline lattice structure results due to lowered kinetic energy, rather than a freely flowing liquid.
