Transition elements are frequently used as catalyst because:A. or variable oxidationk stateB. of high ionic chargeC. large surface area of reactantsD. of their specific nature

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Because of unparied which d-electrons, transition metals have variable varlency which enables them to form unstable intermediate compounds. These intermediates give reaction path of lower activation enrergy and, therefore increase the rate of the reaction.
