Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 14
Question: Assertion : The molecules at 0ºC ice and 0ºC water will have same potential energy. Reason : Potential energy depends only on temperature of the system.
Options:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
