Which outcome can result when applying extreme force during ionic crystal cleavage?

A)Increased localized electronic charge buildup
B)An increase in conductivity
C)Preferential metallic bond formation
D)Phonon scattering remains unchanged

💡 Explanation

Extreme force during cleavage can lead to charge buildup because of the **piezoelectric effect** causing ion displacement without full electron transfer at the new surfaces; therefore localized electronic charge buildup occurs rather than increased metallic bonding or unchanged phonon scattering.
