Which outcome impairs NaCl crystalline formation when impurities exist?

A)Lattice distortion increases substantially
B)Electron delocalization becomes dominant
C)Hydrogen bonding interactions decrease
D)Van der Waals forces stabilize rapidly

💡 Explanation

Impurities disrupt ionic bonding because they alter the electrostatic interactions required for precise lattice construction. Lattice distortion decreases crystallinity; therefore, it weakens the structure rather than strengthening it, despite increasing molecular forces.
