What is the cause of adsorption?

Options

  1. ASurface particles being in the same environment as particles inside the bulk
  2. BUnbalanced or residual attractive forces on the surface particles
  3. CBalanced forces acting between particles on the surface
  4. DLack of attractive forces between particles inside the bulk

Correct answer

B. Unbalanced or residual attractive forces on the surface particles

Step-by-step solution

The paragraph states that adsorption arises due to unbalanced or residual attractive forces on the surface particles of the adsorbent.
