Solution
The correct option is A 2 and 2
O3(g)+O(g)→2O2(g)
Molecularity: The number of reacting species taking part in an elementary reaction, which must collide simultaneously in order to bring about a chemical reaction is called the molecularity of a reaction.
Molecularity is 2 for the above reaction.
Order: The sum of powers of the concentration terms of the reactants in the rate law expression is called the order of that chemical reaction.
