What is the primary reason for the deviation of atomic positions on a clean surface of a crystal from those found in the bulk?

Atoms on the surface do not interact with atoms in the bulk

The surface plane is not a perfect xy-plane

Atoms on the surface only interact with atoms below the surface plane (correct)

Atoms on the surface interact with atoms above and below the surface plane

What is the consequence of the unique interaction of surface atoms with atoms below the surface plane?

Deviations from the surface atomic positions in the bulk

Two types of changes in the bulk atomic positions (correct)

A single type of change in the surface atomic positions

No changes in the atomic positions on the surface
