← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when applying torsional stress to solid calcium fluoride?
A)Crystal lattice structure slip occurs✓
B)Mobile ions increase conductivity
C)Covalent bonds form dislocations
D)Hydrogen bonds drive repolarization
💡 Explanation
Applying stress causes crystal slip because of the arrangement of alternating charged ions causes electrostatic repulsive forces leading to defects; therefore, slippage occurs rather than ion migration, which requires higher temperatures, or covalent/hydrogen bonding modifications.
