Order | Molecularity |
The overall order of reaction is the sum of all the exponents of all the reactants present in the rate law expression. | It is the number of reacting species taking part in an elementary reaction, which must collide simultaneously in order to bring about a chemical reaction. |
It is determined experimentally. | It is a theoretical concept. |
It may be equal to zero or have fractional values. | It can not be equal to zero and it always have integral values( which cannot exceeds 3) |
