Consider a hypothetical situation where we are comparing the properties of two crystals made of atom A and atom B. Potential energy (U) v//s interatomic separation (r) graph for atom A and atom B is shown in figure (i) and (ii) and respectively. Choose correct statement

Answer»

VOLUME of `A` and `B` EXPAND on heating
Volume of `A` and `B` CONTRACT on heating
`A` EXPANDS on heating and `B` contracts on heating
`A` contracts on heating and `B` expands on heating

SOLUTION :On increasing temperature (giving heat) , `U` increases. Now `r_(avg)` increases for `A` while decreases for `B`.
