Which consequence occurs when sodium chloride melts under argon?

A)Ions gain greater kinetic energy
B)Covalent character increases significantly
C)Van der Waals forces dominate weakly
D)Resonance structures start to form

💡 Explanation

When heated past its melting point, the solid NaCl lattice breaks down; therefore the ions gain much greater average kinetic energy due to increased thermal agitation rather than electrons being shared or forming resonance structures.
