Catalytic activity of transition metals depends on:

Atheir ability to exist in different oxidation states
Correct Answer
Bthe sizes of the metal atoms
Cthe number of empty atomic orbitals available
Dnone of these

Solution

The transition metal ions show variable oxidation states. This ability to exist in different oxidation states is responsible for the catalytic activity of transition metals.
