What is the action of a catalyst

Chemistry
1 answer:
AfilCa [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction without being used up and remains chemically unchanged itself .

Explanation: For a reaction to take place the particles must collide with enough energy for bonds to break and reaction to occur .

BUT when a catalyst is present the reactants are able to react in a way that requires less energy ,leading to more successful collision so the reaction speeds up without the chemical composition of the catalyst being affected

NOTE: the catalyst must be chosen to suit the particular reaction

If there were only three electron groups around an atom how would they be arranged
nekit [7.7K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

They would be arranged in a trigonal planar orientation.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

If there were only three electron groups around an atom they tend to repel each other and gain a trigonal planar orientation. A molecule with three electron groups orients the three groups as far apart as possible. They adopt the positions of an equilateral triangle 120° apart and in a plane. The shape of such molecules is trigonal planar. An example is BF3:
