Yes, surface chemistry is part of the JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) Mains syllabus.

The JEE Mains

syllabus, which is designed for students aspiring to gain admission into undergraduate engineering
programs in India, includes various topics from physical chemistry, and surface chemistry is one of them.

### Key Topics in Surface Chemistry for JEE Mains:

1. **Adsorption**:

- Definition and types (physical and chemical adsorption)

- Factors affecting adsorption of gases on solids

- Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherms

2. **Catalysis**:

- Homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis

- Characteristics of catalytic reactions

- Enzyme catalysis, including characteristics and mechanism

3. **Colloids**:

- Classification of colloids (lyophilic, lyophobic, and association colloids)

- Preparation and properties of colloids (Tyndall effect, Brownian movement, electrophoresis, and
coagulation)

- Emulsions and their types

4. **Applications of Surface Chemistry**:

- Application of colloids (in medicines, purification of water, etc.)

- Adsorption in various industries (catalysis, chromatography, etc.)

These topics are integral to understanding the surface phenomena that occur in various chemical
processes and industrial applications. Preparing these topics thoroughly is crucial for performing well in
the chemistry section of the JEE Mains exam.
