1. Thermal energy is the energy of a body arising from motion of its atoms or molecules. The movement of particles due to thermal energy is called thermal motion.

2. At – 273.15 °C oxygen will not exist as a gas. In fact all the gases get liquified before this temperature is reached. It is the absolute zero of temperature, which is the lowest hypothetical or imaginary temperature at which gases are supposed to occupy zero volume.
