Schmidt, Hans-Jurgen; Kaufmann, Birgit; Treagust, David F. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2009
In introductory chemistry courses students are presented with the model that matter is composed of particles, and that weak forces of attraction exist between them. This model is used to interpret phenomena such as solubility and melting points, and aids in understanding the changes in states of matter as opposed to chemical reactions. We…
