Which of following statement is correct for physisorption?

A
It involves formation of covalent or ionic bonds.
B
It is favoured at high temperature.
Correct answer
C
It is reversible.
D
It is very specific.

Solution

Physisorption - It arises because of van der Waals' force. - It is not specific in nature. - It is reversible in nature. - Low temperature is favorable for adsorption. It decreases with increase of temperature.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
