← ScienceFor a molecule undergoing rapid isomerization near absolute zero, which outcome increases because ground state vibrations?
A)Tunneling probability past potential barrier✓
B)Thermal energy becomes negligible overall
C)Molecular kinetic energy rises sharply
D)Reaction pathway depends upon temperature
💡 Explanation
Increased ground state vibrations enable molecular bonds to stretch and compress due to **quantum tunneling** past the potential energy barrier, therefore increasing probability, rather than resulting in temperature dependent reaction coordinate alterations because thermal kinetic energy is minimal.
