Surface Chemistry

Question:

Write any two characteristics of Chemisorption.

Answer:

Pt and Pd form inert electrodes, i.e., they are not attacked by the ions of the electrolyte or the products of electrolysis. Hence, they are used as electrodes for carrying out electrolysis.

Q 19.

Assertion (A): Colloidal solutions do not show Brownian motion.
