Hi
Adsorption is a surface phenomenon, so more is the surface area, better is the adsorption i.e absorption is directly proportional to surface area.
Now, when a substance is finely divided its surface area increases, and thus they are more efficient absorbent as absorption is proportional to surface area.
Thankyou
