Solution

Charcoal is a black soft solid with a porous structure.
Due to its porosity, it provides a large surface area for better absorption of substances, hence is a good adsorbent.
Thus, it is used as a decolorizing agent and in the purification of water.
Lampblack doesn't display the properties of being an adsorbent.
Thus, Charcoal is a good adsorbent.
