B. It becomes less random.

C. It is unchanged.

D. It reverses itself.
THIS IS IN PHYSICAL SCIENCE

Answer 1

C because how can it become more random or less random

Answer 2

Answer:

It is unchanged.                                       (Brainliest Please and 5 stars)

Explanation:

This is an excerpt from my lesson in science:

In an ionic compound, every ion is attracted to ions of opposite charge that surround it. It is attracted to ions above, below, and to all sides. The pattern formed by the ions remains the same no matter what the size of the crystal.

In a single grain of salt, the crystal pattern extends for millions of ions in every direction. Many crystals of ionic compounds are hard and brittle due to the strength of their ionic bonds and the attractions among all the ions.

Hence, it is unchanged.
