This paper surveys some recent studies of low energy electron scattering
by molecules on surfaces. The distinction between the physisorption (weak
binding) regime and the chemisorption (strong binding) regime is
illustrated by electron energy loss spectra and inelastic scattering
cross-sections for physisorbed O2 on graphite and chemisorbed
O2 on Pt(111). These considerations form a basis for a
discussion of the prospects for (e,2e) and related experiments on adsorbed
molecules.
