Question

Equation of reaction between X and Y is given below X + Y → Products. What is the molecularity of the reaction?
Options
A Unimolecular
B Termolecular
C Pseudo unimolecular
D Bimolecular
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Molecularity is the number of molecules that collide in the rate-determining step. The equation shows X and Y reacting directly, so two molecules are involved: bimolecular.

Hint

Count the number of reactant molecules in the elementary step.
