The model also ignores adsorbate–adsorbate interactions. Experimentally, there is clear evidence for adsorbate–adsorbate interactions in heat of adsorption data. There are two kinds of adsorbate–adsorbate interactions: direct interaction and indirect interaction. Direct interactions are between adjacent adsorbed molecules, which could make adsorbing near another adsorbate molecule more or less favorable and greatly affects high-coverage behavior. In indirect interactions, the adsorbate changes the surface around the adsorbed site, which in turn affects the adsorption of other adsorbate molecules nearby.
