Atoms shake slightly back and forth, they dont just stay still. when you heat an atom up it will move around even more but if you cool it to absolute zero, it will not move atall.

What is the complete absence of energy known as?

The complete absence of energy is known as absolute zero. It is the lowest possible temperature where all molecular motion ceases.


The theoretical point at which all molecular motion stops is called?

"absolute zero" or 0 degrees Kelvin.


What is the temperature at which all molecular motion stops?

This is called absolute zero. The temperature is 0 Kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius.


What is the zero point 0 k on the kelvin scale called?

The zero point on the Kelvin scale is called absolute zero. At this temperature, all molecular motion ceases, and it is equal to -273.15 degrees Celsius.


A complete absence of thermal energy?

A complete absence of thermal energy would result in absolute zero temperature, at which point all molecular motion ceases. This state cannot be achieved in practice, as even in the coldest environments there is still some residual thermal energy present.


The temperature -273 degrees Celsius is called?

What is 0k called on a Celsius scale?

It is -273 degrees Celsius which is the temperature at which something has absolutely no kinetic energy, also called absolute zero.


What is it called when temperatures at which all motion of particles is stopped?

It is absolute zero on the Kelvin or thermodynamic scale.


How is absolute zero and 0 k the same?

Absolute zero and 0 K are the same because they both represent the lowest possible temperature that can be theoretically achieved, at which point all molecular motion stops. Both measurements indicate a complete absence of thermal energy.


Would all motion stop at absolute zero and stop time?

All molecular motion stops at absolute zero. This would not stop the passage of time.


What effects would lower the temperature at absolute zero have on brownian motion?

You cannot lower the temperature if you are at absolute zero.


What is the scale called used to measure heat and has a -273 C as zero?

The scale is called the Kelvin scale, where 0 Kelvin is equivalent to -273 degrees Celsius. It is an absolute temperature scale that starts at absolute zero, the theoretical absence of all thermal energy.
