← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when supercooled liquid tin is seeded?
A)Rapid crystallization releases latent heat✓
B)Viscosity quickly dampens molecular motion
C)Surface tension inhibits crystal nucleation
D)Density fluctuations increase alloy segregation
💡 Explanation
Rapid crystallization occurs because the added seed initiates a phase transition via heterogeneous nucleation; therefore, latent heat is released as the material solidifies rapidly rather than through slower homogeneous nucleation that would allow gradual cooling.
