Name the slowest step that determines the rate in a complex reaction

The molecularity of a complex reaction is always greater than the order of the reaction.

What is the rate determining step of a reaction ?

Assertion : Complex reaction takes place in different steps and the slowest step determines the rate of reaction. Reason : Order and molecularity of a reaction are always equal.

Assertion: Order of reaction can never be fractional for an elementary reaction. Reason: An elementary reaction takes place by one step mechanism.
