← ScienceWhich consequence results when a polar solvent decreases ambient NaCl crystal strength?
A)Increased lattice ion solvation✓
B)Decreased London dispersion forces
C)Elevated electron orbital hybridization
D)Increased metallic character delocalization
💡 Explanation
Decreased crystal strength results from increased ion solvation because water molecules disrupt the electrostatic interactions holding the NaCl lattice together via ion-dipole attraction, rather than reducing dispersion forces; therefore ionic solvation occurs, rather than changes in electron orbitals.
