 **Homogenous** catalyst: same state as reactants and products, e.g. Cl* radicals.  
 **Hetrogenous** catalyst: different state, easily separated. Preferred for manufacturing.

+Many catalysts involve transition elements.  
+Haber process (ammonia producition) - enzymes are catalysts for one reaction each. Adsorption (bonding on surface) forms ammonia \ce{NH3}

+**Equilibrium** - the stage at which quantities of reactants and products remain unchanged  
+Reaction graphs - exponential/logarithmic curves for reaction rates with time (simultaneous curves forward/back)
