प्रश्न
Explain why transition metals and their compounds act as a catalyst.
उत्तर
This is because of transition metals
- have a number of unpaired electrons in their (n-1) d-orbitals
- can show variable oxidation states.
- form intermediates and provide a new reaction path having lower energy of activation.
- they can adsorb one of the reactants on their surfaces.
