Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the term for the process of removing adsorbed molecules from a surface?
Correct Answer: Desorption
  • Step 1: Understand that 'adsorbed molecules' are particles that are stuck to a surface.
  • Step 2: Learn that when we want to remove these stuck particles from the surface, we need a specific term for that action.
  • Step 3: The term used for the process of removing these adsorbed molecules is 'desorption'.
  • Step 4: Remember that 'desorption' is the opposite of 'adsorption', which is when molecules stick to a surface.
