← ScienceWhich outcome impairs NaCl crystalline formation when impurities exist?
A)Lattice distortion increases substantially✓
B)Electron delocalization becomes dominant
C)Hydrogen bonding interactions decrease
D)Van der Waals forces stabilize rapidly
💡 Explanation
Impurities disrupt ionic bonding because they alter the electrostatic interactions required for precise lattice construction. Lattice distortion decreases crystallinity; therefore, it weakens the structure rather than strengthening it, despite increasing molecular forces.
