उत्तर
Order of reaction is always whole number.
Explanation:
Order of reaction is always a whole number. This statement is incorrect because the order of a reaction can be a fraction or even zero, depending on the mechanism. For example, a reaction may be zero-order, first-order, second-order, or fractional order, like `1/2` or `3/2`. The order is not necessarily a whole number and must be determined experimentally, not from the balanced chemical equation.
