Question

Why can’t molecularity of any reaction be equal to zero?

Short/Brief Note
Advertisements

Solution

The number of molecules of the reactants involved in an elementary reaction is referred to as the molecularity of the reaction. For this, a single molecule with a minimum molecularity of one is required, and it cannot be zero.
