    In physical adsorption, the gas molecules are held on solid surface by

    A)  chemical forces

    B)  electrostatic forces

    C)  gravitational forces

    D)  van der Waals' forces

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In physical adsorption, reactant molecules are adsorbed on surface by weak van der Waals' forces. Physical adsorption is multilayer, non-directional  and  non  specific  and exothermic. It does not require activation energy. An increase in temperature decreases physical adsorption.
