Which risk increases substantially when calcium fluoride (CaF2) is heated beyond its melting point?

A)Increased electrical conductivity develops acutely
B)Neutron emission from the compound rises
C)Covalent bond formation in molten salt
D)Sublimation rate of the species grows

💡 Explanation

Increased electrical conductivity arises because, above the melting point, ionic dissociation leads to freely moving Ca2+ and F- ions; therefore, ion mobility produces conductivity rather than only solid diffusion, causing the increase compared to non-ionic scenarios.
