Answer:
Adsorption is a surface phenomenon. Therefore, adsorption is directly proportional to the surface area.
A finely divided substance has a large surface area. Both physisorption and chemisorption increase with an increase in the surface area.
Hence, a finely divided substance behaves as a good adsorbent.
