Abstract
A dynamic model for the Monte Carlo method is developed to analyze the atom recombination on a catalytic surface. A numerical method for the study of this model is considered. The concentrations of physically and chemically adsorbed atoms obtained using this approach are in good agreement with experimental data and with the numerical results obtained on the basis of the phenomenological model and by other authors with the aid of the Monte Carlo method.
