According to kinetic theory of gases, at absolute zero temperature

1. water freezes
2. liquid helium freezes
3. molecular motion stops
4. liquid hydrogen freezes

Correct answer: molecular motion stops

Solution

According to the kinetic theory of gases, at absolute zero temperature, the kinetic energy of molecules becomes zero, implying that molecular motion ceases completely.
