Why can't molecularity of any reaction be equal to zero?

Open in App

Solution

Molecularity of the reaction is the number of molecules taking part in an elementary step. For this, we require at least a single molecule leading to the value of minimum molecularity of one. Hence, molecularity of any reaction can never be equal to zero.
