one mole of nitrogen colliding with 3 moles of hydrogen to give one mole of NH3

ok

yeah it is elementry reaction

Remember mates ...molecularity greater than 3 are highly improbable as per collision theory !!!
Plz support ur answers with authentic expln 4 calling it an elementary reaction...

molecularity is possible upto 4

but not beyond it

and for ur question

since the hydrogen molecules are small in compare to the nitrogen molecules so it can be expected that all 4 molecules in this reaction will collide at same time and convert into products......................but if all molecules are of comparable size then this reaction would be rare....................hope u got it...................................

 sorry for both of you


but molecularity is the total no of molecules with smallest integral coeficient colldin for formation of product


here


N2+3h2->2NH3


here 1+3=4


SIMPLE MATHS I SUPPOSE

My teacher said u need to enquire into the detaiked kinetics of the reaction..like the reaction mechanism for answering this unambiguously...

@divineexsoul


molecularity of any reaction cannot be greater than 3 as not more than 3 molecules can collide together.That's my simple physics.So Molecularity of the given reaction is 3 as both , are colliing with the catalyst hence it is 3
