Surface chemistry

In science, surface chemistry is the study, at both the microscopic and macroscopic levels, of how atoms and molecules interact with surfaces, how they behave, and why they react. [1] Being that human chemical reactions, i.e. reactions between human molecules, generally occur on a surface, surface chemistry will invariably yield better models of human behavior than models in gas-phase or liquid-phase chemistry. [2]
