Preferred Label : immobile adsorption;
IUPAC definition : A situation in which the freedom of molecules of adsorbate to move about the surface
is limited. adsorption is immobile when k.T is small compared to Δ E, the energy barrier
separating adjacent sites. The adsorbate has little chance of migrating to neighbouring
sites and such adsorption is necessarily localized.;
