Which outcome arises when magnesium oxide (MgO) is stressed?

💡 Explanation

Fracture surfaces exhibit charge separation because fracturing MgO breaks ionic bonds, leaving an imbalance. Therefore, the fracture creates charged surfaces, rather than grain sliding which relates to yielding or electron tunneling, which requires a barrier.
