The sticking probability is the probability that molecules are trapped on surfaces and adsorb chemically. From Langmuir's adsorption isotherm, molecules cannot adsorb on surfaces when the adsorption sites are already occupied by other molecules, so the sticking probability can be expressed as follows:
S = S 0 {\displaystyle S=S_{0}}
where S 0 {\displaystyle S_{0}} is the initial sticking probability and θ {\displaystyle \theta } is the surface coverage fraction ranging from 0 to 1.
Similarly, when molecules adsorb on surfaces dissociatively, the sticking probability is
