Which is the correct order of adsorption strength from highest to lowest?
  1. Physisorption > Chemisorption
  2. Chemisorption > Physisorption
  3. Physisorption = Chemisorption
  4. None of the above

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which is the correct order of adsorption strength from highest to lowest?
  • Step 1: Understand what adsorption means. Adsorption is when molecules stick to a surface.
  • Step 2: Learn about the two types of adsorption: chemisorption and physisorption.
  • Step 3: Know that chemisorption involves the formation of strong chemical bonds between the adsorbate and the surface.
  • Step 4: Recognize that physisorption involves weaker forces, like van der Waals forces, which do not create strong bonds.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since chemisorption involves stronger bonds, it is stronger than physisorption.
