What happen to gas particles at absolute zero?
Is it possible that the particles will still be moving ?
Thanks in advance

Is this a homework question?
No. If they stopped moving they would violate HUP. What happens is that the atoms "smear out" into what's called Bose-Einstein Condensate.heavystray said:I read some articles that say the gas particles will stop moving

Basically, the more their movement becomes known (i.e. approaches zero) the more their position becomes unknown (they smear out).
Absolute zero gas is a theoretical gas that exists at the temperature of absolute zero, or 0 Kelvin. It is a gas in which all molecular motion and energy have ceased to exist.
Currently, it is not possible to achieve absolute zero gas in a laboratory setting. However, scientists have been able to reach temperatures very close to absolute zero, such as 0.000000001 Kelvin.
Absolute zero gas is important in science because it allows us to understand the behavior of matter at extreme temperatures. It also helps us to understand the properties of gases and how they behave at different temperatures.
No, at absolute zero temperature, all molecular motion ceases to exist. This is because molecular motion is caused by thermal energy, and at absolute zero, there is no thermal energy present.
One potential application of absolute zero gas is in the field of superconductivity. At extremely low temperatures, some materials are able to conduct electricity with zero resistance. Understanding absolute zero gas can help scientists develop new materials for more efficient energy transmission. Absolute zero gas is also important in the study of quantum mechanics and the behavior of subatomic particles.
