Why does absolute zero not correspond to zero energy? |
|
Answer» The total energy of a gas is the sum of kinetic and potential energy of its molecules. Since the kinetic energy is a function of the temperature of the gas. Hence at absolute zero, the kinetic energy of the molecules ceases but potential energy is not zero. So, absolute zero temperature is not the temperature of zero energy |
