Does molecular motion stop when diffusion stops?

No molecular motion only ceases when the temperature is at absolute zero. The molecules have retained their kinetic energy although they are at equillibrium.


What is is the Temperature at which all atomic kinetic motion ceases is?

The temperature is absolute zero, a minimum temperature of matter based on continually reduced molecular motion. (Although absolute zero cannot be attained, it is possible to get very very close, to about 170 billionths of a kelvin.) Absolute zero is approximately -273.15 °C


All molecular motion ceases at 0 Kelvin why?

All molecular motion stops at absolute zero because absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature. And it is only able to achieve this temperature if the molecules/atom do not possess any thermal energy. And thermal energy is what causes vibrating motion of the molecules/atom. Thus at this temperature no molecules/atoms will vibrate due to the complete lack of energy.


Molecular motion stop at 0 degrees?

Yes - if one is using the Kelvin temperature scale. Molecular motion is predicted to stop at "absolute zero" a temperature so low it cannot be achieved by scientists. 0º Kelvin = −273.15 ° Celsius = -459.67 Fahrenheit

What do you call the hypothetical lowest possible temperature when all molecular motion ceases?

This is called "absolute zero" or 0 degrees Kelvin. This temperature is the same as -273.15 degrees Celsius or -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.


What in temperature can cause something to melt?

Temperature is just a name for "internal energy of grain / molecular / atomic / nucleon motion". Melting is changing from "grain dominant" motion to "molecular dominant" motion, as the energy released in forming the (usually) more stable grain structure is added back in.


What is 0 degrees kelvin in centigrade?

The temperature of 0 Kelvin is equivalent to -273.15 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, known as absolute zero, all molecular motion ceases.


What is the temperature at which the motion of particles theoretically ceases is?

0 Kelvins. -273.16 degrees Celsius.


When does all motion of molecules stop?

When the temperature reached absolute zero (0 Kelvin or -273 Celsius), all molecular motion ceases.
