What is shape `-` selective catalysis ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Shape-Selective Catalysis**: - Shape-selective catalysis refers to a catalytic process that is influenced by the shape of the catalyst's pores and the size of the reactant and product molecules. 2. **Key Factors**: - The effectiveness of shape-selective catalysis depends on two main factors: - **Structure of the Catalyst's Pores**: The arrangement and size of the pores in the catalyst determine which molecules can enter and react. ...
