In the following questions two or more options may be correct.
For a complex reaction ______________.
(i) order of an overall reaction is the same as molecularity of the slowest step.
(ii) order of an overall reaction is less than the molecularity of the slowest step.
(iii) order of an overall reaction is greater than molecularity of the slowest step.
(iv) molecularity of the slowest step is never zero or non-integer.
The number of reacting species (atoms, ions or molecules) taking part in an elementary reaction which must collide simultaneously in order to bring about a chemical reaction is Molecularity.
Description:
$\mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{NO}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{~N}_2+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ (unimolecular)
$\mathrm{H}_2+\mathrm{I}_2 \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{HI}$ (bimolecular)
$2 \mathrm{NO}+\mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{NO}_2$ (trimolecular)
Molecularity is the theoretical concept. It cannot be zero/non-integer
