This is a Short Answer Type Question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Simple reactions occur in a single stage, whereas complicated reactions occur in multiple steps. Each phase in a multi-step process has its own molecularity, which is not added together. There is no molecularity in complex reactions. The sequence of a complex reaction is decided by the slowest step. As a result, it can be used for both simple and complex processes

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.
