It has been shown that the order of hydrogen and oxygen adsorption on rhodium determines the course of the adsorbates interaction. Changes in electron work function of the rhodium (100) face which occur as a function of time during hydrogen adsorption on a surface with preadsorbed oxygen was studied along with changes in the electron work function during adsorption of hydrogen and oxygen. The electron work function was determined by photoelectric emission. Gas adsorption occurred at room temperature, the gas phase composition was determined with an omegatron, and Auger spectroscopy was used to check the cleanliness of the original surface.
