Number of molecules which must collide simultaneously to give product is called molecularity. It is equal to sum of coefficients of reactants present in stoichiometric chemical equation.
For reaction, $m_1A + m_2B \rightarrow$ Product
Molecularity $= [m_1 + m_2]$
ln complex reaction each step has its own molecularity which is equal to the sum of coefficients of reactants present in a particular step. Molecularity is a theoretical property. Its value is any whole number. Number of concentration terms on which rate of reaction depends is called order of reaction or sum of powers of concentration terms present in the rate equation is called order of reaction.
If rate equation ofreaction is: Rate $=\text{k}\cdot\text{C}^{\text{m}_1}_\text{A}\cdot\text{C}^{\text{m}_2}_\text{B}$
Then order of reaction $= m_1 + m_2.$
ln simple reaction, order and molecularity are same.

Decrease in concentration of reactant or increase in concentration of product per unit time is called rate of reaction. lt is of two types:
  1. Instantaneous rate of reaction: Rate of change of concentration of reactant or product at a particular time is called instantaneous rate of reaction.
$\text{r}_\text{inst.}=\frac{\text{dC}}{\text{dt}}$
where, dC = infinitely small change in concentration
dt = infinitely small change in time.
