AI Thread Summary
The physicochemical properties of metals crucial for catalytic conversions in cars include their electron configuration, oxidation states, and surface characteristics. These properties influence how metals interact with substrates, facilitating reactions through mechanisms such as adsorption and electron transfer. Key forces at play during substrate-catalyst interactions include van der Waals forces, covalent bonding, and electrostatic interactions. Understanding these atomic-level interactions is essential for optimizing catalytic efficiency. Comprehensive information on these topics can be found in scientific literature and resources dedicated to catalysis and materials science.

hello!

what are the physicochemical properties of the metals that facilitate the catalytic conversion in cars?

what are their properties that make them act the way they do? ie. facilitate the reactions?

I mean in electron/proton etc basics, atomic level

thanks

can't anyone at least find for me this info online? I can't find anything!
 
anyone? so many scientists and no one can answer?
 
what are the forces that take place when the substrate approaches the catalyst?
 
Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'

This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...

Thread 'Is Gravity an entropic property like Surface Tension'

Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
