I really didn't want to jump back into this but...
If you are going to present scientific explanations for your observations you need to be more precise in your terminology. You stated that the salt "released electrons" to the crystal. To me that implies some form of oxidation/reduction reaction. Given how tightly bound those electrons are to the salt ions, that's not conceivable. You respond with the one word "hygroscopic". No further explanation. I assume you are implying that the salt will attract moisture and CONDUCT electrons. Where do these electrons come from, no explanation. What's supplying the Free Energy to facilitate this movement of electrons? No explanation. I'm curious now. I want to know. Explain it to me. Don't be afraid that I won't have the technical cops to understand. I have undergraduate degrees in Math and Chemistry from the Univ. of Mo. - Col. and a Masters degree in Chemistry from Stanford Univ.
