Molecularity of reaction
Molecularity of reaction:
1- It is the number of reacting species undergoing simultaneous collisions in the reaction.
2- It is a theoretical concept which depends upon the rate determining step in the reaction mechanism.
3- It is always a whole number and never zero, and generally never exceed three.
4- It is obtained from a single balanced equation.
5- The reaction mechanism can be know from the molecularity of a reaction.
6- It is invariant for a reaction.
