Molecularity is the number of reacting species undergoing simultaneous collisions in the elementary or simple reaction.
* Molecularity is a the orietical concept.
* Molecularity has whole number values only like 1,2,3----
* It can’t be zero for any reaction.
* Order is the sum of the powers of the concentration terms in the rate law expression.
* It is determined experimentally.
* Order of a reaction need not to be a whole number. It can also have fractional values
* Order of a reaction can be zero.
When I was helpless then I tried lots of sides for my answers but now I found examville.com side having lots of these kinds of topics and best answers.
