Why is chemisorption referred to as activated adsorption?
(N/A) In chemisorption,chemical bonds are formed between the molecules of the adsorbate and the adsorbent. This process requires a significant amount of activation energy to initiate the bond formation. Due to this requirement of high activation energy,chemisorption is often referred to as activated adsorption.
