Structure of a crystal is changed due to:
Correct answer: C. Impurity
- A. Cooling
- B. Heating
- C. Impurity
- D. None of these options are correct
Explanation
Option C is correct since the presence of impurity due to its different electronic structure causes the structure of the crystal to change. Option A is incorrect since cooling affects the decrease in temperature. Option B is incorrect since heating causes the bonds between the atoms to relax. Option D is incorrect since Option C is the right answer.

About Crystal Lattice
A crystal lattice is the regular three-dimensional arrangement of particles in a crystalline solid. The content includes lattice points, unit cells, coordination number, packing patterns, and the differences among ionic, metallic, molecular and covalent network crystals, which should not be confused with amorphous solids.
