MCQ
In a crystal, atoms are located at the position of:
- AMaximum potential energy
- ✓Minimum potential energy
- CZero potential energy
- DInfinite potential energy
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Minimum potential energy
a crystal, atoms are located at the position of minimum potential energy.
As two atoms approach each other, the potential energy gradually decreases, reaches a minimum value and then sharply increases.
