Inhibitor

A substance that slows down a chemical reaction
Real World Example
Imagine you're in the middle of a bustling morning, trying to brew your coffee while the toaster, microwave, and kettle are all competing for power, causing everything to slow down. This scenario is similar to how an inhibitor works in a chemical reaction by interfering and slowing down the process. Just like the limited power supply disrupts the efficiency of your morning routine, an inhibitor disrupts the speed of a chemical reaction by interacting with reactants, preventing them from reacting swiftly.
