  "term": "Surface excess isotherm",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A graph that illustrates the relationship between the surface excess concentration of a component and its bulk concentration at a constant temperature. This plot provides information about the adsorption behavior of a substance at an interface. It is often used to determine adsorption capacities and affinities.",
