Which of the following types of metal form the most efficient catalysts?

A

Alkali metals

B

Alkaline earth metals

C

Transition metals

D

All of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Most of the transition metals and their compound exhibit catalytic property. They can catalyse both organic and inorganic reaction. The ability to exhibit property is due to the
(i) Formation of intermediate (variable oxidation state)
(ii) Interstitial compound (absorption)
(iii) By adsorption.
