Option 1: Heterogeneous catalysis

 * Article title
 * Heterogeneous Catalysis


 * Article Evaluation
 * Needs more tertiary and secondary sources (as mentioned on the talk page).

GLH comment: I wonder if the talk page comment was based on the 2019 WikiEdu class. This would be an interesting article to clean up, I don't know if it needs a lot of extra content.

Option 2 Homogeneous catalysis

 * Article title
 * Homogeneous catalysis


 * Article Evaluation
 * Similar need for tertiary and secondary sources. More elaborate and descriptive introduction paragraph.

GLH comment: This article does seem to be lacking in content. On the plus side, all the references that are there are at least secondary.
 * Sources

Option 3 Organometallic chemistry

 * Article title
 * Organometallic Chemistry


 * Article Evaluation
 * Described "start" with high importance according to wiki. More details from talk page to come:

GLH comments: This article needs work. If you choose it, look at the talk page around 2017 when a student taking another WikiEdu class edited it, and was challenged by User:Smokefoot who has some strong opinions about students editing chemistry-related wiki pages.

Option 5 Group 10 element

 * Article title
 * Group 10 element


 * Article Evaluation
 * More specific details to the whole group 10 rather than individual elements that already have a page. More sources needed (according to wiki). Is this topic notable enough for an entire page?

GLH notes: this is sparse compared to some of the other comparable pages (of course the groups with traditional names, like halides, chalcogens etc have more connections between the elements).
