Science

Which outcome preferentially occurs on silica surfaces during vapor deposition?

A)Enhanced molecular hydrogen bond adsorption
B)Oxidation by surface free radicals
C)Rapid metallic compound decomposition
D)Uniform free radical recombination

💡 Explanation

Enhanced water layer coverage causes preferential adsorption with molecular hydrogen bonds, because the surface is hydroxylated; therefore hydrogen bonding is prevalent, rather than decomposition, reaction, or recombination which require higher energies to trigger.
