The root mean-square $(rms)$ speed of oxygen molecules $(O_2)$ at a certain absolute temperature is $\upsilon$. If the temperature is doubled and the oxygen gas dissociates into atomic oxygen,the $rms$ speed would be

  • A
    $\upsilon$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}\upsilon$
  • C
    $2\upsilon$
  • D
    $2\sqrt{2}\upsilon$
