- Omar, at DPIB level that would seem reasonable, since students are expected to know that temperature is related to the average translational kinetic energy of the particles, so at zero Kelvin (absolute zero) the particles are not moving.
- Thank you Geoff for your reply. I am also a chemist. I just want to make sure how we would teach it for students in our chemistry subject. So as i got from you, we teach it as particles ceases and stop moving?
- Geoff, (not Richard!) I fear I am becoming more like my parents everyday, mixing up names of people that I clearly should not mix up....The Richard Thornley videos above must have confused me. John
- Hi John, You make a valid point (to Richard?) about HF and BF3 - although fluorine with an electronegativity value of 4 is always a problem with the ~ 1.8 rule of thumb - but I'm still not convinced that triangular bonding...
