- This page is over catalyst. Catalysts fall under the umbrella of the Atomic theory. Atoms are theory, not a fact. Information presented in this article should be critically interpreted and taken with an open mind. There are true challenges to this debated theory including the intelligent matter theory.
A catalyst is a substance that alters the activation energy of a chemical reaction, thus facilitating its occurrence, but does not get consumed in the process.[1] A protein that acts as a catalyst is called an enzyme. The strength of a catalyst is directly related to its activation energy and the environment under which the reaction occurs.
