Average rate depends upon the change in concentration of reactants or products and the time taken for that change to occur. However, the average rate cannot be used to predict the rate of reaction at a particular instance as it would be constant for the time interval for which it is calculated.
So, to express the rate at a particular moment of time we determine the instantaneous rate. Itis obtained when we consider the average rate at the smallest time interval say dt (i.e. when? t approaches zero).

Reaction rate is used to measure how fast or slow reactions occur per unit time. The rate constant is a proportionality factor that remains constant for every reaction.
Yes, in elementary reactions, order and molecularity can be the same, but this is not always the case because order is an experimental quantity, and molecularity is a theoretical concept.
Reaction Kinetics, also known as chemical kinetics, is the study of the rate of chemical reaction and the factors affecting the reaction rate, such as temperature, concentration, and catalyst.
