Question:
Why molecularity is applicable only for elementary reactions and order is applicable for elementary as well as complex reactions?
Solution:
Molecularity is applicable only for elementary reactions as they are the single-step reactions and the rate depends on the concentration of each molecule, whereas in
case of complex reactions there are multiple reactions involved and thus molecularity holds no meaning.
