Which outcome prevents NaCl crystalline fracturing during compression?

💡 Explanation

Ions in the salt structure slide when compressed, preventing immediate fracturing because *ionic slip* allows rearrangement rather than breakage. Lattice slip avoids catastrophic crack propagation, therefore structure compresses rather than breaking, rather than breaking via brittle fracture.
