Catalytic Activity

Activity of Catalyst A catalyst can speed up a reaction. The activity of a catalyst is the name given to this property. Adsorption of the reactant is important. A catalyst can speed up the process. The activity of a catalyst is the name given to this property. It is dependent on the reactants adhering to the catalyst's surface. The primary element influencing a catalyst's activity is chemisorption. The catalytic surface and the reactants must create a connection during adsorption, but it must not be too strong or weak. It must be potent enough to activate the catalyst but not so potent as to immobilise the reactant molecules on the catalytic surface, preventing the addition of fresh reactants. From Group 5 to Group 11 metals, the catalytic activity generally rises for the hydrogenation process. The periodic table's group 7-9 elements have the highest catalytic activity, it has been discovered. It's on the catalyst's exterior.
