← ScienceWhich consequence results when molten sodium chloride cools rapidly?
A)Fine crystal structure forms
B)Large crystal grains precipitate
C)Amorphous solid structure results✓
D)Metallic sodium redox reaction occurs
💡 Explanation
Quenching causes ions to rapidly solidify before long-range ionic structure can form; the solidification mechanism is rapid ionic site arrest, therefore, an amorphous solid will result rather than crystal growth due to slow cooling.
