Why do transition catalysts make good catalysts?

Why do transition catalysts make good catalysts?

And why do group 2 catalysts make not so good catalysts?

And how does this relate to the collision theory?

Thank you!

Do you know what is so special about transition metals?
They have variable oxidation numbers and empty d-orbitals.
Just think on this line .
