Which outcome occurs when a non-polar solvent enters a molecular crystal?

A)Crystal lattice undergoes induced dipole interactions
B)Crystal structure begins phase transformation
C)Intermolecular forces increase significantly
D)Crystallization becomes thermodynamically irreversible

💡 Explanation

The crystal lattice undergoes induced dipole interactions because the non-polar solvent induces temporary dipoles within the molecules of the crystal via London dispersion forces; therefore, new intermolecular forces arise rather than a phase transformation or instability.
