Which outcome occurs when differential forces disrupt ionic lattice?

A)Crystalline slip induces brittle fracture
B)Deliquescence causes surface liquification
C)Electronegativity diminishes chemical reactivity
D)Amorphous structure increases optical transparency

💡 Explanation

Brittle fracture occurs due to crystalline defects introduced by slip. Deformations in the repeating ionic structure create planes of weakness, the mechanism is dislocation slip, because crack propagation is rapid rather than ductile yielding, therefore the crystal fractures.
