why pd or pt used extensively in catalysis.?

Shahid Jadoon

due to some outstanding characteristics like

1: Less reactive so remain in metallic form for a long time as compared to other metals

2: resistance to oxidation even at higher temperature(coz high M.P)

3: resistance to the poisons eg sulfur phosphorus lead etc..
