Abstract
The unexpected results of Beebe, Klar and others on the relative adsorbabilities of H2 and D2 on metal surfaces are explained by a statistical‐mechanical treatment. By constructing simple partition functions for the adsorbed molecules and atoms, equal adsorption at low temperatures and an inversion temperature at higher temperatures are predicted. Both predictions are fulfilled by the experimental results.Keywords
