Question

In an addition reaction Ni/Pd is used as a catalyst. True/ False

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Common catalysts used are insoluble metals such as palladium in the form Pd-C, platinum in the form PtO2, and nickel in the form Ra-Ni. ... The metal catalyst also absorbs the alkene onto its surface. A hydrogen atom is then transferred to the alkene, forming a new C-H bond.
