Catalysts

Many metals make good catalysts.

Catalysts can speed up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the catalyzed reaction.

In Chemistry, the characteristic of enzymes (and catalysts) to participate in certain chemical reactions is called specificity.

Catalysts make chemical reactions possible at low temperatures.

While ingredients and conditions for storms forming over the Indian Ocean differ from the catalysts that can precipitate storms over the Atlantic, climate specialists are hoping to enhance the predictability and understanding of tropical storm formation in general.
