capability of all solid substances to attract to their surfaces molecules of gases or solutions with which they are in contact. Solids that are used to adsorb gases or dissolved substances are called adsorbents; the adsorbed molecules are usually referred to collectively as the adsorbate

Adsorption is caused due to the fact that particles at the surface have unbalanced or residual attractive forces which are mainly responsible for adsorption to take place.
