Click For Summary
The physicochemical properties of metals crucial for catalytic conversions in cars include their electron configuration, oxidation states, and surface characteristics. These properties influence how metals interact with substrates, facilitating reactions through mechanisms such as adsorption and electron transfer. Key forces at play during substrate-catalyst interactions include van der Waals forces, covalent bonding, and electrostatic interactions. Understanding these atomic-level interactions is essential for optimizing catalytic efficiency. Comprehensive information on these topics can be found in scientific literature and resources dedicated to catalysis and materials science.

hello!

what are the physicochemical properties of the metals that facilitate the catalytic conversion in cars?

what are their properties that make them act the way they do? ie. facilitate the reactions?

I mean in electron/proton etc basics, atomic level

thanks

can't anyone at least find for me this info online? I can't find anything!
 
anyone? so many scientists and no one can answer?
 
what are the forces that take place when the substrate approaches the catalyst?
 

Thread 'Is this a coincidence?... (distances between planets)'

I'm not a student or graduate in Astrophysics.. Wish i were though... I was playing with distances between planets... I found that Mars, Ceres, Jupiter and Saturn have somthing in common... They are in a kind of ratio with another.. They all got a difference about 1,84 to 1,88x the distance from the previous planet, sub-planet. On average 1,845x. I thought this can be coincidential. So i took the big moons of Jupiter and Saturn to do the same thing jupiter; Io, Europa and Ganymede have a...
