Order of a reaction : Order of a reaction is the sum of the powers of the concentration terms in the experimentally determined rate equation . Order of a reaction is generally a whole number.
Activation energy of a reaction : The minimum extra amount of energy which is required by the reactant molecules to make their energy equal to threshold energy is known as activation energy.
