The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is wrong about reactions, we need to analyze the statements regarding molecularity and order of reactions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Molecularity**: - Molecularity refers to the number of reactant molecules involved in an elementary reaction. - The possible values of molecularity are restricted to whole numbers: 1, 2, or 3. - Therefore, the first statement is correct: "There can be only three values of molecularity: one, two, and three." 2. **Understanding Order of Reaction**: - The order of a reaction is determined from the rate law and can take on a variety of values. - The order can be zero, positive integers, fractions, or even infinite. - Thus, the second statement is incorrect: "There can be only four values of order: zero, one, two, and three." This is wrong because the order of reaction can be any non-negative value, including fractions and even infinite values. 3. **Rate Law and Molecularity**: - The rate law expresses the rate of a reaction as a function of the concentration of reactants raised to a power (the order). - Molecularity does not appear in the rate law expression; it is only the order that plays a role in determining the rate of the reaction. - Therefore, the third statement is correct: "The rate involves the order while molecularity does not." ### Conclusion: The wrong statement about reactions is the second one regarding the order of reaction, which incorrectly limits the possible values to zero, one, two, and three. ### Final Answer: The wrong statement is: "There can be only four values of orders: zero, one, two, three." ---
