Class 12 Chemistry Surface Chemistry Introduction

Introduction

Surface Chemistry deals with the study of physical and chemical phenomena occurring at the boundary (interface) separating two bulk phases.

  • The bulk phase can be a pure compound or a solution.
  • The bulk phases may be solid – liquid, solid – gas, solid – vacuum, liquid – gas etc.

Let us consider a simple example of a dirty shirt. The dirt stays in the surface of the fabric and the study of phenomena occurring at the interface between the fabric and the dirt is surface chemistry, in simple words.
