What Factors Influence the Activity of Active Sites?
Several factors can influence the activity of active sites, including: - Surface area: Larger surface areas provide more active sites for reactions. - Electronic properties: The electronic structure of the active sites can impact their ability to donate or accept electrons during the reaction. - Steric factors: The spatial arrangement of atoms around the active sites can either facilitate or hinder the approach of reactant molecules. - Temperature and pressure: These conditions can alter the state of active sites and their interaction with reactants.
