Some subtances posses some residual entropy even at absolute zero. This is because

A

they contain some impurities

B

they attain different orientations of moleculeseven at absolute zero

C

it is difficult to attain absolute zero of temperature

D

all the above factors are responsible

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The residual entropy at absolute zero is due to different orientation of the molecules even at absolute zero.
