28. 2 molecule chemisorbs on both tube edges with relatively large adsorption energies, and no physisorption is observed. In case of CO molecule, the carbon atom preferentially adsorbs at the tube edge. resulting in no etching process. NO molecule chemisorbs on both tube edges with a large adsorption energy.
