All Molecules Have a Combination of Kinetic and Potential Energy

question 29

Multiple Choice

All molecules have a combination of kinetic and potential energy. If an external heat source were used to increase the kinetic energy of a group of molecules, the potential energy of the group would

• B)be unaffected because no changes in the bonding pattern of the molecule had taken place.
• C)also increase because potential and kinetic energy are directly proportional to one another.
• D)It is not possible to predict the result using the information provided.
