Question

How does physical adsorption differ from chemical adsorption?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Chemical. The phenomenon of adsorption is essentially an attraction of adsorbate molecules to an adsorbent surface. ... Physical adsorption from a gas occurs when the inter-molecular attractive forces between molecules of the solid adsorbent and the gas are greater than those between molecules of the gas itself.
