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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
N/a
Molecularity of the reaction is the number of molecules taking part in an elementary step For this we require at east a single molecule leading to the value of minimum molecularity of one. Hence molecularity of any reacton can never be equal to zero.
