← ScienceAbove critical temperature, which outcome destabilizes molecular aggregates?
A)Increased translational kinetic energy prevails✓
B)Anharmonic vibrational modes become dominant
C)Restricted rotational energy conformation occurs
D)VSEPR configurations attain lower energy
💡 Explanation
Increased temperature boosts translational kinetic energy; dispersion forces responsible for aggregate stability are overcome via thermal motion. The mechanism is Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution because higher temperature distributions lead to more molecules exceeding the binding energy, therefore destabilizing the aggregates rather than alternatives that require phase change.
