molecularity

[Peter Nguyen 2I]

what does it mean when something is bi-molecular, termolecular, etc.?

[Te Jung Yang 4K]

When something is bimolecular, there are two species in the elementary step. When something is termolecular, there are three species in the elementary step.

The prefix simply denotes how many elements one begins with in the elementary step. I believe Dr. Lavelle, went over this in a chart during the last lecture.

[Rosha Mamita 2H]

The molecularity refers to the number of species in an elementary step, you can think of it as having to do with the number of reactants in the reaction

[Rosha Mamita 2H]

unimolecular refers to one species, bimolecular refers to two species, and termolecular refers to three species

[Katelyn Phan 2A]

The molecularity is based on the number of particles/molecules that will collide simultaneously as this reaction occurs. It's based on the number of species.

[Angel Chen 2k]

Molecularity is the number of molecules that take part in the rate-determining step. So depending on the prefix, it refers to how many species are in the reaction.

[Kaylee Kang 1G]

The prefix tells how many molecules are involved in the reaction!

[Arta Kasaeian 2C]

The molecularity states how many reactants are present in the elementary step of the reaction. So if there is : A+B or 2A, it is bimolecular
