Why do the surface particles of an adsorbent possess residual field of force?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The particles on the surface, are not surrounded by other particles from all sides. Hence, the net force acting on a surface particle is not zero. As a result, the face particles possess a residual field of force towards the exterior.
