Question

Which of the following types of metals form the most efficient catalysts? (A) Alkali metals (B) Alkaline earth metals (C) Transition metals (D) All of these

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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.
