Catalytic Properties Of Transition Metals & Their Compounds (A2 chemistry)

This video aimed at A-level students, explains how a catalyst works and the difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. It also explains that transition metals and their compounds have catalytic properties and describes examples of where these are used to increase the rate of chemical reactions. Finally the specific reasons why transition metals and their compounds can act as both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts is explained in detail.
