Will the molecularity of a zero order reaction be zero ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The molecularity of an elementary reaction is the total number of reactant particles (atoms, molecules, ions or free radicals) taking part in the reaction. So, the molecularity can never be zero. A molecularity of zero indicates that no reactant particles take part in the reaction. This implies that products are formed in absence of any reactant particles, which is impossible.
