Adsorption
What exactly is adsorption, I see that it says when reactants sit on the surface of the catalyst, but what does this mean?
Re: Adsorption
Adsorption is the adhesion of molecules on to the surface of something, and they basically form a film over the surface of the catalyst.

Re: Adsorption
Heterogeneous catalysts are usually only available in the solid state and therefore mainly function through adsorption, homogeneous catalysts are available in all states and therefore can but no do not have to function through adsorption.
