### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Physisorption and Chemisorption**: - Physisorption is a type of adsorption that involves weak van der Waals forces. It is generally reversible and occurs at lower temperatures. - Chemisorption, on the other hand, involves the formation of strong chemical bonds between the adsorbate and the surface of the adsorbent. This process is usually irreversible and occurs at higher temperatures. 2. **Example of Physisorption to Chemisorption**: - A classic example is the adsorption of hydrogen gas (H₂) on finely divided nickel (Ni). At lower temperatures, hydrogen molecules are weakly adsorbed on the nickel surface through physisorption. ...
