Solution

Adsorption is the phenomenon in which the concentration of a substance (adsorbate) increases at the surface of another substance (adsorbent) due to surface forces, resulting in a higher concentration at the surface than in the bulk. It is a surface phenomenon caused by the attraction of particles on the surface.
