Q. Which of the following types of metals form the most efficient catalysts?

Surface Chemistry

Solution:

Many of the $d$-block (transition) elements and their compounds act as a catalyst. Catalytic property is probably due to the utilisation of $(n - 1) d$ orbitals or formation of interstitial compounds.
