Which outcome maximizes energy released as molten sodium chloride cools?

A)Smaller crystal seed initiation size
B)Rapid thermal quenching application
C)Increased concentration of bromide ions
D)Decreasing electrostatic attraction distance

💡 Explanation

Smaller crystal seeds promote faster and larger ionic bond formation because the energy released (exothermic process) is directly proportional to the total ionic bonds created via crystallization, therefore, faster heat dissipation occurs because of enthalpy change rather than restricted crystal formation.
