Basic Assumptions of The Model
Inherent within this model, the following assumptions are valid specifically for the simplest case: the adsorption of a single adsorbate onto a series of equivalent sites on the surface of the solid.
- The surface containing the adsorbing sites is perfectly flat plane with no corrugations (assume the surface is homogeneous) .
- The adsorbing gas adsorbs into an immobile state.
- All sites are equivalent.
- Each site can hold at most one molecule of A (mono-layer coverage only).
- There are no interactions between adsorbate molecules on adjacent sites.

Famous quotes containing the words basic, assumptions and/or model:
“There’s one basic rule you should remember about development charts that will save you countless hours of worry.... The fact that a child passes through a particular developmental stage is always more important than the age of that child when he or she does it. In the long run, it really doesn’t matter whether you learn to walk at ten months or fifteen months—as long as you learn how to walk.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Why did he think adding meant increase?
To me it was dilution. Where do these
Innate assumptions come from?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“It has to be acknowledged that in capitalist society, with its herds of hippies, originality has become a sort of fringe benefit, a mere convention, accepted obsolescence, the Beatnik model being turned in for the Hippie model, as though strangely obedient to capitalist laws of marketing.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
