Incorrect statement regarding adsorption is:

1. Adsorption is a surface phenomenon of accumulation of molecules of a substance at the surface rather than in the bulk of a solid or liquid.
2. Adsorption involves penetration through the surface to the bulk of the solid or liquid.
3. The substance that gets adsorbed is called the ‘adsorbate’ and the substance on whose surface the adsorption takes place is called the ‘adsorbent’.
4. During absorption, the substance gets uniformly distributed throughout the bulk of the solid or liquid.
