The Blyholder model is a basic model for chemisorption. Describe the Blyholder model for $CO$ chemisorption on a metal surface. How do you expect the C$-$O bond energy to change for transition metals, moving from left to right on the periodic table and why? $(20$ points$)$

How is the heat of desorption related to the heat of adsorption for a non$-$activated vs$.$ activated adsorption process? $(10$ points$)$
