According to the adsorption theory of catalysis, the speed of the reaction increases because

1. the concentration of reactant molecules at the active centres of the catalyst becomes high due to adsorption
2. in the process of adsorption, the activation energy of the molecules becomes large
3. adsorption produces heat which increases the speed of the reaction
4. adsorption lowers the activation energy of the reaction.

1. polar at outer surface but non-polar at inner surface
2. polar at inner surface but non-polar at outer surface
3. distributed over all the surface
4. are present in the surface only
