12.11—And distinguish between the concepts of thermodynamic stability and kinetic stability

Understand and distinguish between the concepts of thermodynamic stability and kinetic stability.

Use —and distinguish between the concepts of thermodynamic stability and kinetic stability to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because —and distinguish between the concepts of thermodynamic stability and kinetic stability determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply —and distinguish between the concepts of thermodynamic stability and kinetic stability to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: —And distinguish between the concepts of thermodynamic stability and kinetic stability is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
