Answer:
Chemisorption is a kind of adsorption which involves a chemical reaction between the surface and the adsorbate. New chemical bonds are generated at the adsorbent surface.
Various characteristics of Chemisorption are-
High specificity: Chemisorption is highly specific and it will only occur if there is some possibility of chemical bonding between adsorbent and adsorbate.
It is irreversible in nature.
Surface area: Chemisorption increases with the increase of the surface area of the adsorbent.
Enthalpy of adsorption: Enthalpy of chemisorption is high as it involves chemical bond formation.
Chemisorption doesn't form multimolecular layers
