A

is irreversible

B

forms monolayer

C

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Chemisorption is highly specific and it will only occur if there is some possibility of chemical bonding. E.g. oxygen is adsored on metals by virtue of oxide formation and hydrogen is adsorbed by transition metals with unpaired d-orbital leading to hydride formation.
