At absolute temperature, the K. E of the molecule
Correct answer: C. become zero
- A. Become minimum
- B. become maximum
- C. become zero
- D. None of these
Explanation
At absolute zero temperature, molecular motion theoretically stops entirely, reducing kinetic energy to zero.

About Thermal Equilibrium and Heat
Thermal equilibrium means that bodies in contact have the same temperature and no net heat flows between them. The topic distinguishes heat from temperature, uses the zeroth law of thermodynamics, and covers heat transfer, specific heat capacity, thermal expansion and the conditions for reaching equilibrium.
