Which consequence results when increased pressure on a sodium chloride crystal exceeds its elastic limit?

💡 Explanation

Microscopic fracture from dislocation occurs because pressure causes atoms to shift position where existing dislocations propagate via Peierls-Nabarro stress, therefore, fracture is observed rather than bond changes which would require substantially more energy. Thus, chemical bonds will not break directly.
