Which outcome results when high surface tension contamination inhibits NaCl crystal formation?

💡 Explanation

Crystal lattice distortions increase because surface contamination prevents optimal ion alignment during crystal nucleation, disrupting the electrostatic balance. Therefore, weaker, distorted crystals form, rather than stronger, ordered ones achieved without interference.
