Surface Reactivity Is A Term Used To Describe The Ability Of A Solid Surface To Interact With Various Molecules In Its Environment. This Ability Is Highly Dependent On The Type Of Surface And The Type Of Molecule Present In The Surrounding Environment. This Phenomenon Is Most Widely Observed In Metal Surfaces, Where The Surface Properties Are Often Altered By Changes In The Surrounding Environment. Surface Reactivity Is Often Divided Into Two Main Categories; Surface-Mediated Reactions And Surface-Initiated Reactions. In Surface-Mediated Reactions, A Pre-Existing Molecule On The Surface Of The Material Interacts With Surrounding Molecules To Form A New Reaction. This Type Of Reaction Is Most Often Seen In Organometallic Compounds Such As Organolithium Or Organomagnesium, When A Metal Atom In The Compound Reacts With Surrounding Molecules To Form A Different Compound. Surface-Initiated Reactions Involve A Direct Chemical Interaction Between The Surface Of The Material And Reaction Partners In Its Surroundings. These Reactions Occur When A Molecule Is Adsorbed Onto The Surface Of The Material And This Interaction Triggers A Chemical Reaction Within The Solid. Common Surface-Initiated Reactions Include Catalytic Transformations, Corrosion And Surface Oxidation. Surface Reactivity Is Crucial For Many Industrial And Commercial Processes, Such As Tailoring The Properties Of Metal Surfaces Or Catalyzing The Production Of Chemical Compounds. It Is An Essential Factor In Many Industries, Including Electronics, Automotive, Aviation And Healthcare. A Complex Knowledge Of Surface Reactivity Is Essential For Obtaining The Desired Results In Any Industrial Process.
