Solution
(i) only one reacting species is involved in the rate determining step.
(ii) the order and the molecularity of slowest step are equal to one.
Explanation:
For any unimolecular reaction, only one reactant is involved in rate determining step and the order and molecularity of rate determining or slowest step are one.

Why can we not determine the order of a reaction by taking into consideration the balanced chemical equation?
Assertion: The enthalpy of reaction remains constant in the presence of a catalyst.
Reason: A catalyst participating in the reaction, forms different activated complex and lowers down the activation energy but the difference in energy of reactant and product remains the same.
Assertion: Rate constants determined from Arrhenius equation are fairly accurate for simple as well as complex molecules.
Reason: Reactant molecules undergo chemical change irrespective of their orientation during collision.
