List the various differences between Order and Molecularity of a reaction
Making the differences between order and molecularity:
Order | Molecularity |
Order of a reaction refers to the exponential power raised to the concentration of product in a rate law expression. | Molecularity refers to the simultaneous collision of two or more than two particles while reacting. |
Order can be fractional, natural number, or whole number. | Molecularity is always a natural number. |
Order can be Zero | Molecularity of a reaction cannot be zero |
The order of a reaction is determined by experimental methods. | The Molecularity of a reaction is determined by observation of the reaction. |
