Which out of helium and neon would adsorb on the surface of charcoal more readily and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Ne will get adsorbed to more extent because it has large surface area, therefore, more van der Waals forces of attraction. Also it is more easily liquifiable as compared to He. More easily liquefiable gases are adsorbed to a greater extent.
