Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf It \ lowers \ the \ activation \ energy \ and \ it \ speeds \ up \ chemical \ reactions }}

Explanation:

A catalyst is a substance that <u>increases the rate</u> of a chemical reaction. Some examples are enzymes and acid-base catalysts.

They can do this by <u>lowering activation energy</u> (the energy needed to undergo a reaction) or modifying a certain mechanism in the reaction.

Catalysts are unique because they aren't consumed or used up in a reaction. They can be reused many times.

So, based on the information above, catalysts do not increase the activation energy or get consumed in the reaction. That leaves two correct answers: they lower the activation energy and speed up chemical reactions.

Why are noble gasses ''inert''
Bogdan [553]
Inert gases are gases that don't react with other elements. What this means is that they won't combine with other elements, and trigger chemical reactions. I've posted a picture of the Periodic Table. Take a look at the VERY LAST row, all the way on the RIGHT side of the table. That row is made of up NOBLE GASES (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, etc.) Those noble gases are INERT. They are non-reactive.

Which pair of elements would you expect to exhibit the greatest similarity in their physical and chemical properties? Sr, Te Ga,
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

N and P will have similarity

Electronic configuration of N

2,5

1s²2s²p⁵

Electronic configuration of  P

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁵

Electronic configuration bears similarity.

Both have 5 electrons in their outermost orbits . So they exhibit similarity in their properties. Both belong to the same 15 th group of periodic table.

Sr and Rb too bear much similarity . Both are strongly electro-positive metal , difference in their atomic no being only one.
