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 statementA. Volume of `A` and `B` expand on heatingB. Volume of `A` and `B` contract on heatingC. `A` expands on heating and `B` contracts on heatingD. `A` contracts on heating and `B` expands on heating

Answer» Correct Answer - C
On increasing temperature (giving heat) , `U` increases. Now `r_(avg)` increases for `A` while decreases for `B`.
