Which outcome occurs when high pressure causes sodium chloride crystals to distort?

A)Decreased free ion mobility
B)Increased metallic bond character
C)Enhanced van der Waals attractions
D)Reduced covalent bond contribution

💡 Explanation

High pressure reduces the space for ions to move which decreases *free ion mobility* because ionic conductance is limited by ion diffusion through defects rather than electron sharing; therefore, mobility diminishes rather than bonds changing character under moderate compression.
