Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R:
Assertion A: A reaction can have zero activation energy.
Reason R: The minimum extra amount of energy absorbed by reactant molecules so that their energy becomes equal to threshold value, is called activation energy.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Option 1 - <p>A is false but R is true.<br>&lt;!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;<br>&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</p>
Option 2 - <p>Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.<br>&lt;!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;<br>&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;</p>
Option 3 - <p>Both A and R are true and R is NOT the correct explanation of A.</p>

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.
