The dirt staying on the surface of the skin as a layer is termed as adsorbtion.
Now consider applying soap solution to the shirt containing dirt. The soap solution is absorbed by the fabric and does not stay on the fabric as a layer. This is called absorption.
Adsorption
Adsorption is the phenomenon of attracting and retaining molecules of a substance on the surface of a solid (or liquid) resulting as a higher concentration of molecules only on the surface.
- Adsorbent- the surface on which adsorption takes place
- Adsorbate- the substance which is adsorbed
