Which risk increases greatly with decreased solvent polarity for highly charged electrolytes?

A)Enhanced Debye screening efficiency
B)Overall interfacial stability
C)Aggregated ion-pair formation
D)Increased electrochemical bandwidth

💡 Explanation

Aggregated ion-pair formation increases because in less polar solvents, electrostatic attraction between ions becomes dominant, causing ion pairing via coulombic attraction, rather than solvation. Therefore, aggregation is favored rather than free ion mobility observed in polar solutions.
