Why "Lower Adsorption Rate" is Correct?

Here's my explanation.

Chemisorption involves the formation of chemical bonds, which requires activation energy.

This makes the process slower compared to physical adsorption, where molecules are simply attracted to the surface by weak forces and adsorb more quickly.

Hence, chemisorption has a lower adsorption rate than physical absorption.
