    This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

    Correct options: A and D 

    Elementary reaction: It is a reaction that occurs in a single step.

    Here we must understand about the Order and Molecularity.

    Molecularity of a reaction = number of reacting species (collide to bring a chemical reaction).

    Discussing about the Order, Rate law is used in Order and how do we equate shall be seen in the next step

    rate = k [A] α [B] β

    For a balanced chemical equation of an elementary reaction Order and Molecularity is same and can never be 0.

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.
