CBSE Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 5 - Surface Chemistry Notes

Surface Chemistry Class 12 CBSE Revision Notes

The chapter of Surface Chemistry in Class 12 explicitly focuses on the topic in detail. You will learn about the way how particles in specific solutions remain suspended throughout. They never settle down and why does it happen? Surface chemistry notes will help you understand why and how. Moreover, it will teach about what takes place at the interface between different phases. Thus, surface chemistry deals in the processes which occur at interfaces especially liquid and gases. Surface chemistry notes will explore the various applications in different fields.

Sub-topics covered under Surface Chemistry –

Adsorption– This unit will explain all about adsorption and its significance, mechanism, and types.
Adsorption Isotherm– You will learn how the process of adsorption is plotted and how we study it through the graph.
Catalysis– Students will learn the phenomenon of catalysis, catalysts, and the role of surface chemistry in catalysis.
Classification of Colloids– It will explain the classification of colloids on the basis of different properties of the dispersed phase and the medium.
Colloids– This explains what exactly colloids are, their applications, and method of preparation.
Emulsions– You will learn what exactly are these Emulsions and their significance in our daily lives as well as their applicability in industries.
Preparation of Colloids– Students will learn about the variety of techniques involving physical, chemical as well as some dispersion methods in preparing colloids.
Properties of Colloidal Solutions– This section explores the physical, chemical, optical as well as electrical properties of colloidal solutions.
Shape-selective Catalysis by Zeolites– You can study about the interesting concept in further detail a reaction, shape-selective catalysis, and the catalysts are called zeolites.
