This is a Short Answer Type Question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
When the Threshold energy is less than the energy of the molecules and the orientation of the molecules is proper for the effective collision, the reaction happens. As a result, the reaction is slow, and the number of effective collisions is reduced

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.
