Expert Answer
The number of reacting species (molecules, atom or ions) which collide simultaneously to bring about a chemical reaction is called molecularity of a reaction.
So in the given reaction
αA + βB → Product
Molecularity = α + β
The molecularity of the reaction may be 1, 2,3 etc. according to the participation of one, two or three reactant molecules in the reaction.
On the basis of molecularity, reactions are classified as:
- Unimolecular reaction
- Bimolecular reaction
- Trimolecular reaction
For example: 2 NO + O2 → 2NO2
In this reaction, three reactant molecules are participating, so the molecularity of the reaction is 3.
