### Step-by-Step Text Solution: **Step 1: Understanding Adsorption** - Adsorption is the process in which atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid adhere to a surface of a solid or liquid (known as the adsorbent). **Step 2: Attraction Forces** - The primary reason for adsorption is the attractive forces between the adsorbate (the substance being adsorbed) and the adsorbent. These forces can be due to van der Waals forces, dipole-dipole interactions, hydrogen bonding, or chemical bonding. ...
