### Step-by-Step Text Solution: **Differences between Physisorption and Chemisorption:** 1. **Specificity:** - **Physisorption:** It is non-specific in nature. This means that physisorption can occur between a wide range of adsorbates and adsorbents without any specific requirement. - **Chemisorption:** It is highly specific. Chemisorption occurs only when there is a specific interaction between the adsorbate and the adsorbent, often involving the formation of chemical bonds. ...
