The molecularity of an elementary reaction is the number of molecules coming together to react in an elementary reaction.It is most important to distinguish molecularity from order: reaction …

Sep 27, 2014 · In fact, molecularity and order of reaction are identical if the reaction is elementary. They may become different when the reaction is complex and has a mechanism. …

Jan 24, 2021 · Molecularity applies to single elementary reaction steps and is seldom higher than 2. The reaction order is the "effective molecularity" of the whole set of linked reactions, if it had …

The coefficients only correspond to the rate law coefficients if the reaction is elementary. Elementary reactions are ones where the reagent(s) combine through a mechanism implied by …

Jun 21, 2022 · Recently, I learnt that molecularity of a reaction is limited to 3 and even that is quite rare. I searched online and asked my teacher about this but the explanation given was that it is …

Jun 26, 2018 · Molecularity - The [integer] number of reactant molecular entities that are involved in the 'microscopic chemical event' constituting an elementary reaction. (From IUPAC Gold …

Jan 11, 2014 · Molecularity, as per the collision theory, is defined only for elementary reactions. One of the things that define an elementary reaction is the fact that the entire transformation …

May 5, 2015 · I know that the definition of molecularity of a reaction is number of species reacting in an elementary step. But considering the theory of microscopic reversibility for elementary …

Mar 23, 2022 · Does molecularity depend on the total number of reacting entities, or the number of reacting entities at a particular site? I think molecularity will be defined wrt a specific site, in …

Jun 16, 2022 · It can be zero and even a fraction but molecularity cannot be zero or a non-integer. Its values are limited to 1,2 or 3. (ii) Order is applicable to elementary as well as complex …
