Expert Answer
Dear Student,
The following explanations explain why transition metals and their compounds have catalytic properties:
1. They create an intermediate complex as a result of their variable oxidation state, opening up a novel chemical pathway.
2. The presence of an empty d-orbital, which offers a large surface area for reactivity.
