← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a molecular dynamics simulation treats water molecules outside permissible hydrogen-bond distances?
A)Simulated boiling point decreases rapidly
B)Total system energy lowers drastically✓
C)Computational resource usage decreases markedly
D)Intermolecular binding equilibrium quickly rises
💡 Explanation
Total system energy decreases rapidly because weakened hydrogen bonds during Verlet integration temporarily lead to artificial stabilization arising from decreased potential energy; therefore, stability suffers rather than proper free energy because weaker H-bonds distort ensemble average.
