Question

why cu is taken as catalyst​

Answer 1

Answer:

Copper is an ideal example of a transition metal with its variable oxidation states Cu2+ and Cu3+. The incomplete d-orbital allows the metal to facilitate exchange of electrons. Transition metals can both give and accept electrons easily, thereby making them favorable as catalysts.

Answer 2

Answer:

Depending on its oxidation state, this metal can efficiently catalyze reactions involving both one and two-electron (radical and polar) mechanisms, or both. ... Second, copper is an earth-abundant metal, making its use more cost effective and more sustainable than precious transition metal catalysts.
