Elements in the halogen group can be used as catalysts?
These elements are not used as catalysts.
What are some salts used as catalysts?
Zeolites (aluminosilicates salts) are frequently used as catalysts.
What term is used for biological catalysts?
Enzyme
Why biological catalysts remarkable compare with industrial catalysts?
Biological catalysts are remarkable because they help the body to perform its daily functions that keep humans and animals alive and working properly. Industrial catalysts are used in the chemical industry to increase outputs and make products run more smoothly.
What group in the periodic table are used for electrodes or catalysts?
These are the platinum metals.
