← ScienceWhich outcome results when high surface tension contamination inhibits NaCl crystal formation?
A)Crystal lattice distortions increase significantly✓
B)Solubility product rapidly decreases
C)Mean free path sharply increases
D)Ionic character slightly decreases
💡 Explanation
Crystal lattice distortions increase because surface contamination prevents optimal ion alignment during crystal nucleation, disrupting the electrostatic balance. Therefore, weaker, distorted crystals form, rather than stronger, ordered ones achieved without interference.
