okay im doing a project for my classroom about catalyst and i have to draw a picture but when i looked up on google i just saw a bunch of random stuff and a couple were metal so thats why im asking this question. :)
A catalyst is something that enables a process to take place without being part of said process itself, such as in a chemical reaction.
A catalyst most often is a metal in the form of a screen or sponge with lots of area although it can be an immiscible liquid or sand like particles that can be filtered out.
