Surface phenomena on interstellar dust grains, which are relevant for molecule formation, are summarized. For various molecular species in the interstellar gas, the dependence of abundance on gas density and the degree of shielding of starlight is predicted. These predictions seem to fit with recent observations on carbon-monoxide, but there seems to be a discrepancy for formaldehyde.
