Question
What is meant by ‘Shape selective’ catalysis?
Solution
Answer:
The catalytic reaction that depends upon the structure of pores of the catalyst and the size of the reactant and product molecules is called shape/selective catalysis. Zeolites are good shape/selective catalysts because of their honeycomb-like structures.
