Ionic crystals often cleave along flat planes. Which particle-level explanation best fits this observation?
A
Every ion on the plane becomes a neutral atom before the crystal breaks.
B
A plane can shift so repulsive like-charge alignments propagate across the lattice.
C
The crystal contains separate molecules that slide without changing charge alignment.
D
Cleavage occurs because ionic attractions act in only one direction.
