Molecularity |
It is the sum of powers of the concentrations in the rate law expressions. |
It is the number of moleculesr of the reactants taking part in an elementary reaction. |
Order corresponds to the overall reaction. |
Molecularity is for elementary reactions. |
Order might involve one elementary reaction or it might involve a sequence of elementary reactions. |
Molecularity is a part of the whole reaction. |
It is an experimentally determined value. |
It is a theoretical concept. |
It can have fractional value. |
It is always a whole number. |
It can assume zero value. |
It can not have zero value. |
Order of a reaction can change with the conditions such as pressure, temperature, concentration etc. |
Molecularity is invariant for a chemical equation. |
