Which outcome primarily occurs when compressing nitrogen gas suddenly?

A)Increased molecular vibrational energy
B)Decreased van der Waals forces
C)Molecular dissociation into radicals
D)Formation of liquid nitrogen

💡 Explanation

Compressing nitrogen suddenly inputs energy, exciting the molecular vibrational energy levels because this is a faster energy transfer mechanism than dissociation. Therefore, molecular vibrational energy increases rather than liquid formation or altering intermolecular forces due to compression, which would require extended cooling.
