The correct statements among the following regarding any unimolecular reaction are-
| (a) | Only one reacting species is involved in the rate-determining step |
| (b) | The order and the molecularity of the slowest step are equal to one |
| (c) | The molecularity of the reaction is one and the order is zero |
| (d) | Both molecularity and order of the reaction are one |
| 1. | (a, b) | 2. | (b, c) |
| 3. | (c, d) | 4. | (a, d) |
Hint: The reaction can be unimolecular when one reacting species is involved
Since the reaction is a unimolecular reaction. Hence, in the slowest step i.e., in the rate-determining step, the only one reacting species is involved. Therefore, the order of reaction and molecularity of the slowest step are equal to one.
