Tuition Singapore Chemistry Tuition Kinetics Theory of Particles
Common Error 1
Particles in a solid are motionless
Correct Concept 1
Particles in a solid vibrate and rotate about their fixed positions although they do not move from place to place
Common Error 2
During melting, the temperature rises because heat is absorbed.
Correct Concept 2
During melting, the temperature remains constant at the melting point because the heat absorbed is used to overcome the attractive forces between the particles.
Common Error 3
Diffusion does not occur in solids.
Correct Concept 3
Diffusion does occur in solids. In fact, it occurs extremely slowly in solids because the solid particles are less energetic and move with less speed.
