Question
Chapter 5, Problem 48DSP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The elementary steps in the given mechanism are to be classified according to their molecularity.
Concept introduction:
The number of species that undergo a chemical change in an elementary step determines the molecularity of that step.
When one species undergoes a chemical change in an elementary step, it is a unimolecular step.
When two species undergo a chemical change in an elementary step, it is a bimolecular step.
