What happens to an atom when it reaches abouloute zero of 1 kelvin(-272 degrees celiuis)?

Question

0 kelvin sorry

Answer 1

First of all, absolute zero is 0 Kelvin (-273.15 C). It turns out that not all vibration stops at that temperature. The reason is that, by quantum mechanics, there is a smallest amount of vibration possible (the ground state). At absolute zero, this is the actual amount of vibration; all atoms are at their ground state. For example, the electrons would not stop in an atom. Nor would the vibrations in the nucleus. Most materials freeze well before absolute zero, but Helium still has enough ground state vibration to remain a liquid (under normal pressures).

Answer 2

Absolute zero is 0 Kelvin.

Theoretically at 0K, all thermal vibrations cease. I say theoretically, because as far as I know it has never been done and takes an extraordinary amount of energy to even approach 0K.

0K is the lower limit to temperature. It's like the upper limit on velocity (speed of light) which would theoretically take extraordinary energy to attain as well.

As an atoms temperature increases from 0K, thermal vibrations increase.

Answer 3

By theory you wouldn't be able to measure it.
Check the uncertainty principle.
So it becomes a pair of docks.

Answer 4

nothing
