Average kinetic energy ≠ kinetic energy ⚡️
In IB Chemistry, precise language matters. “Average kinetic energy” refers to the average of all particles, while “kinetic energy” can describe just one particle. Small wording differences can cost marks — so learn the concept and express it accurately. 🧪

Why do roads get salted in winter? 🧂❄️
Salt lowers the freezing point, helping ice melt and preventing it from forming again, keeping roads safer for everyone!
