### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Molecularity**: - Molecularity refers to the number of reactant molecules that collide in an elementary reaction to form products. It is defined only for elementary reactions, which are single-step processes. 2. **Defining Order of Reaction**: - The order of a reaction is determined experimentally and is the sum of the powers of the concentration terms in the rate law expression. It can be a whole number, fraction, or zero. ...

    What is meant by molecularity of a reaction ?

    The order of reaction may be a fractional number.

    Assertion (A) : The order of a reaction can be fractional but molecularity is never fractional. Reason (R ): The order of reaction does not depend upon the stoichiometric coefficients of a balanced equation.
