The process of accumulation of molecular species at the surface of solid or liquid is called adsorption. It may be physisorption or chemisorption. Low temperature is favorable for physisorption. Amount of gas adsorbed by a solid depends upon nature of gas. Easily liquifiable gases are readily adsorbed. Catalyst increases the rate of reaction. Catalysis may be homogenous or heterogenous Enzymes are biological catalysts. They work at optimum pH and temperature. Solutions are of three types i.e. true solutions, colloids and suspensions. Depending on the interaction between dispersed phase and dispersion medium colloids may be Lyophilic and Lyophobic, Depending on type of particles there may multimolecular, macromolecular and associated colloids. Sol, gel, emulsions are also various types of colloids.
