Consider the reaction: NO2(g)+CO(g) ➔ NO(g)+CO2(g). it shows that the reaction is:
Correct answer: A. Bimolecular
- A. Bimolecular
- B. Unimolecular
- C. Trimolecular
- D. Tetramolecular
Explanation
The molecularity of a reaction is defined as the number of reacting molecules that collide simultaneously to bring about a chemical reaction. In other words, the molecularity of a reaction is defined as the number of reactant molecules taking part in the reaction.

About Order of Reaction
Reaction order shows how the rate depends on the concentration of each reactant, as expressed in the rate law. Coverage includes zero, first and second-order reactions, integrated rate equations, half-life, units of rate constants and the distinction between overall order and molecularity.
