    Physisorption
    Physisorption, or physical adsorption, arises primarily from weak intermolecular Van der Waals forces, including London dispersion forces and dipole-dipole interactions. This process typically involves low heats of adsorption ($20 \text{ to } 40 \text{ kJ/mol}$), is reversible, and does not lead to chemical bond formation. Physisorption layers are often multilayered, following models like the multi-layer [BET theory](/entries/bet-theory…
