← ScienceWhich phenomenon occurs when nonpolar molecular liquids approach absolute zero temperature?
A)Crystallization driven by van der Waals forces✓
B)Superfluidity enabled by quantum entanglement
C)Decomposition into atomic plasma state
D)Formation of amorphous solid exhibiting isotropic properties
💡 Explanation
When nonpolar molecular liquids cool, reduction in thermal energy makes weak van der Waals intermolecular forces dominant, causing molecules to align leading to ordered crystalline structures. Therefore crystallization results, rather than superfluidity, plasmatization, or amorphous solidification each of which require different thermal or electrical conditions
