Q. Transition metals make the most efficient catalysts because of their ability to

The d-and f-Block Elements

Solution:

Transition metals have partially filled d- orbitals so they can easily withdraw the electrons from the reagents or give electrons to them depending on the nature of the reaction. They also have a tendency to show large no. of oxidation states and the ability to form complexes which makes them a good catalyst.
