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.

“Nothing and no one can destroy the Chinese people. They are relentless survivors. They are the oldest civilized people on earth. Their civilization passes through phases but its basic characteristics remain the same. They yield, they bend to the wind, but they never break.”
—Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
“Why did he think adding meant increase?
To me it was dilution. Where do these
Innate assumptions come from?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“She represents the unavowed aspiration of the male human being, his potential infidelity—and infidelity of a very special kind, which would lead him to the opposite of his wife, to the “woman of wax” whom he could model at will, make and unmake in any way he wished, even unto death.”
—Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
