Transition elements are used as catalyst because `:`A. of high ionic chargeB. of variable oxidation stateC. large surface area of reactantsD. of their specific nature

Answer» Correct Answer - 2
General electronic configuration of transition elements is `[` inert gas `](n-1)d^(1-10)`. Energy difference between `(n-1)d` and ns subshell is much less so electron can remove from `(n-1)d` subshells easily. Due to this variable oxidation states shown by transition elements.
