(a)
Interpretation:
The given reaction has to be categorized as elementary, bimolecular and elementary or not elementary reaction.
Concept Introduction:
If the reaction contains only one reactant, then it is unimolecular and elementary reaction.
In a bimolecular reaction there will be exactly two reactants, they may be either same or different.
If a reaction contains more than two reactants, then it is not elementary.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given reaction has to be categorized as elementary, bimolecular and elementary or not elementary reaction.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
