Question

Why do transition elements act as good catalysts?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Transition metals and their compounds function as catalysts either because of their ability to change oxidation state or, in the case of the metals, to adsorb other substances on to their surface and activate them in the process. All this is explored in the main catalysis section.

Answer 2

Answer:

Transition elements act as good catalyst in chemical reaction. The most important reason transition metals are good catalysts is that they can lend electrons or withdraw electrons from the reagent, depending on the nature of the reaction.
