- Adsorption = surface; Absorption = bulk; Sorption = both
- Physisorption: 20–40 kJ/mol, van der Waals, reversible, multilayer, decreases with T
- Chemisorption: 80–240 kJ/mol, chemical bond, irreversible, monolayer, first increases then decreases with T
- Freundlich: x/m = kP^(1/n), 0 < 1/n < 1; log-log plot: slope = 1/n, intercept = log k
- Colloids: 1–1000 nm; Tyndall effect = light scattering; Brownian = molecular bombardment
- Hardy-Schulze: higher valency of opposite-charge ion = greater coagulating power
- Gold number: lower = better protective colloid; Gelatin (0.005) > Albumin (0.1) > Starch (25)
- Emulsions: O/W (milk, water-dilutable) vs. W/O (butter, oil-dilutable)
- Haber = Fe catalyst; Contact = catalyst
- CO + : ZnO- → ; Cu → HCHO; Ni →
