Which consequence results when differential charge builds within NaCl crystal lattice?

💡 Explanation

Crack formation results because electrostatic repulsion from asymmetrical ion distribution causes localized stress concentration; this process is **electrostatic stress concentration**. The crystal fractures therefore, rather than remaining intact. A piezoelectric effect requires external stress.
