Abstract
The dense part of the double layer at the metal-electrolyte interface is usually identified with the so-called molecular capacitor. The latter is assumed to be formed by the metal surface z = 0 and the plane of maximum approach of ions z = h with solvent molecules between them (these planes act as the capacitor plates). The model becomes a little more complicated in the case of specific adsorption, since two planes of maximum approach, rather than one, exist in this case (see ยง 7). We shall not, however, touch upon such details because in this section we shall consider, for the sake of simplicity, only surface-inactive electrolytes.
