It is neither. It does not directly participate in the reaction but rather creates more optimal conditions for the reaction to occur, such as reducing energy input for a reaction or reducing concentration and pressure requirments.
If a substance is a reactant or product of a chemical reaction then, by definition, it cannot be a catalyst.
A catalyst is neither a product nor a reactant; it is a substance that accelerates a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. It facilitates the reaction by lowering the activation energy required, allowing reactants to convert to products more efficiently. After the reaction, the catalyst remains unchanged and can be used again.
A reactant that binds to a catalyst is known as a substrate. Substrates bind to the active site of the catalyst, where the chemical reaction takes place. This binding lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.
This depends on the reaction involved.
Reactant
If a substance is a reactant or product of a chemical reaction then, by definition, it cannot be a catalyst.
If a substance is a reactant or product of a chemical reaction then, by definition, it cannot be a catalyst.
a product
The catalyst is not a reactant in a chemical reaction but contribute to the success of this reaction.
Catalyst is not a reactant.

Oxygen acts as a reactant.
No. If something is consumer, then it is a reactant.

reactant
If NaOH is totally used up in the reaction process, it is a reactant; If not it's a catalyst.
