Question

A catalyst in the finely divided form is most effective because:

• A. Less surface area is available
• B. More active sites are formed
• C. More energy gets stored in the catalyst
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B More active sites are formed

A catalyst is more effective in finely divided form because finely divided form has more surface area. Therefore, there is an increase in active centres on the surface.
