The molecularity of a reaction can never be:

Answer: zero or a fraction.

  • A a value of one
  • B a value of two
  • C a value of three
  • D zero or a fraction

Correct answer: D. zero or a fraction

Explanation: Molecularity is a count of colliding species, so it must be a positive whole number - never zero or a fraction.

First-Order Decay: Constant Half-Lifetime[A][A]₀[A]₀/22 × t½[A]₀/4Each successive half-life takes the SAME amount of time, regardless of starting concentration

First-order decay curve: concentration halves every t½, and that half-life is constant - a defining test for first-order kinetics.

Concept context

Study the speed of reactions and what affects it: concentration, temperature, and catalysts. Covers rate law, order of reaction, the Arrhenius equation, and reaction mechanisms step by step.
