helium becomes superfluid at absolute zero. absolute zero is the temp at which all molecules cease motion.

Absolute zero is the theoretical lowest temperature an object can achieve. Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a system. Kinetic energy relates the mass and speed of a particle to its energy. Therefore, the slower the particles are moving, the lower the temperature.
At absolute zero, the particles come to a complete stop.

Superfluid He does not exsist at 0 K, but close. Niether does all motion stop, electrons still move, but all transitional and vibrational motion (should) be non-exsitant.

Since temperature is a means of measuring vibrational, rotational, and transistional motion of a molecule, all compounds can, theorheticly, exsist at 0K. However 0 K is a theory, it can not be truely ever met, just like an ideal gas does not exsist.

Helium... it becomes a "superfluid."

And, counterintuitive as it may seem... there are negative temperatures too. They are not colder than absolute zero, but are weighted toward filling high-energy states more densely than the low-energy states (an inversion). It is an interesting quirk of statistical mechanics.

None. At absolute 0, ALL motion stops. Even electrons. Matter as we know it could not exist. That is why noone has ever obtained absolute 0 & never will.

Helium. At absolute zero, it becomes a superfluid that can resist gravity and a group of particles act as one.

None...
Absolute zero is defined as the point of cessation of all molecular movement...
