Catalytic activity is the increase in the rate of a specified chemical reaction caused
by catalyst under specified conditions. Catalysis at a solid surface involve the
formation of bonds between reactant molecules and atoms of the surface of the
catalyst. This has the effect of increasing the concentration of the reactants at the
catalyst surface. Also, because the transition metal ions can change their oxidation
states, they become more effective as catalysts.
