← ScienceWhich outcome results when excessive mechanical stress fractures adhesive bonds?
A)Covalent bonds break transferring force
B)Interfacial adhesion loses all strength✓
C)Ionic charges align maintaining bond
D)Material undergoes plastic reversible deformation
💡 Explanation
Interfacial adhesion fails because mechanical stress overcomes van der Waals forces; therefore, the adhesive loses strength at the interface and peels away, rather than the material deforming, because covalent bonds within the adhesive resist deformation.
