Which outcome increases in a sodium chloride crystal when subjected to mechanical stress?

💡 Explanation

Increased stress causes lattice distortions that promote ion displacement, thus augmenting Frenkel defect population via the Frenkel defect formation mechanism. Therefore, more defects arise, rather than phonon interference or covalent interactions, because the stress impacts ionic positions physically.
