Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C — Strong chemical bonds with the surface.
Chemisorption is characterized by the formation of chemical bonds (covalent or ionic) between the adsorbate and the surface, leading to a higher energy release.
Q2. What is the primary characteristic that distinguishes chemisorption from physisorption?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D — Chemisorption involves chemical bond formation while physisorption involves weak intermolecular forces
The key difference lies in the nature of interaction: chemisorption involves chemical bond formation, whereas physisorption involves weak physical forces.
Q3. Which of the following is generally true regarding physisorption?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A — It is reversible and involves weak forces
Physisorption is characterized by weak forces (van der Waals), is reversible, and involves low energy release.
