Which outcome increases when high-energy particles disrupt a crystal's lattice?

💡 Explanation

High-energy particle impacts lead to increased phonon scattering, introducing defects in the crystal lattice. This impedes electron flow because increased lattice vibrations interfere, therefore electrical resistance rises rather than decreasing or affecting unrelated properties such as hardness or thermal conductivity.
