AI Thread 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
 
Physics news on Phys.org
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 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
