Question

Which one of the following statements is mathematically or conceptually INCORRECT regarding the molecularity and order of a reaction?

Answer: D

💡 Solution & Explanation

Molecularity is the actual number of colliding molecules in an elementary step and thus must always be a positive integer (1, 2, or 3). It can never be zero, negative, or fractional. Order, however, is derived from the experimental rate law and can be fractional.
