Assertion : Order and molecularity of a reaction are always equal. Reason : Complex reactions takes place in steps and fastest step determine the molecularity of reaction.

Options

  1. AIf both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).
  2. BIf both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark
  3. CIf Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark (3).
  4. DIf both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark (4).

Correct answer

D. If both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark (4).

Step-by-step solution

Order can be fractional but molecularity can never be fractional. Slowest rate determines the molecularity of reaction.
