Assertion : Liquid molecules have greater potential energy at the melting point.
Reason : Intermolecular spacing between molecules increases at melting point.

A

If both assertion and reason are correct and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.

D

If assertion is incorrect but reason is correct.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When the liquid changes into solid at melting point, work done against the intermolecular force of attraction is stored as potential energy of the liquid molecules.
