← ScienceWhich consequence results when extreme pressure overcomes NaCl's lattice?
A)Increased ionic mobility develops flow
B)Covalent character enhances electron sharing✓
C)Metallic bonding enables orbital delocalization
D)Hydrogen bonding causes molecular aggregation
💡 Explanation
Increased pressure induces increased electron density between ions causing polarization. This leads to increased **covalent character** because of distortion from purely ionic bonds, therefore sharing results in covalent bonding rather than ionic separation or hydrogen bonding.
