The Chemistry of Transition Elements · Semester 1
Transition Metals as Catalysts (Basic)
Students will learn that transition metals and their compounds can act as catalysts, speeding up reactions without being consumed, with simple examples.
Key Questions
- What is a catalyst and what does it do in a reaction?
- Can you give an example of a transition metal used as a catalyst?
- Why are catalysts important in industrial processes?
