How Does Spatial Arrangement Affect Catalytic Activity?
The catalytic activity is highly dependent on the spatial arrangement due to the following reasons:
- Surface Area: Higher surface area allows more reactants to interact with the catalyst, enhancing the reaction rate. - Active Site Accessibility: Proper spatial arrangement ensures that reactants can easily access active sites without steric hindrance. - Electron Distribution: The geometric configuration can influence electron distribution around active sites, affecting their reactivity.
