MindMap Gallery Basic Overview of Surface Chemistry
Surface chemistry deals with the properties of surface energy and surface tension in liquids, arising from the imbalance of intermolecular forces at the surface, impacting phenomena such as capillary action and droplet formation. Adsorption and desorption are processes where molecules or atoms adhere to or detach from a surface, crucial in catalysis, separation technologies, and environmental science. Surface reactions occur at the surface of a solid or liquid, often differing significantly from bulk reactions due to the unique environment and reactivity of surface sites.
