Preferred Label : monolayer capacity;
IUPAC definition : For chemisorption the amount of adsorbate which is needed to occupy all adsorption
sites as determined by the structure of the adsorbent and by the chemical nature of
the absorptive. For physisorption, the amount needed to cover the surface with a complete
monolayer of atoms or molecules in close-packed array, the kind of close packing having
to be stated explicitly when necessary.;
