Order vs Molecularity
Order is experimental sum of powers of concentrations in rate law (can be zero, fractional, negative). Molecularity is theoretical count of colliding reactant molecules in elementary step (integer 1, 2, 3 only).

Essential Formulas & Mathematical Definitions
1st Order: k = (2.303/t) log([R]₀ / [R])
1st Order t½ = 0.693 / k
Arrhenius: k = A e^(-Ea / RT)
log(k2/k1) = (Ea / 2.303 R) · [(T2 - T1) / (T1 T2)]
Arrhenius Activation Energy (Ea)
Minimum kinetic energy reactant molecules must possess to undergo effective collision and cross transition energy barrier into products.

High-Yield Exam Strategy & Scoring Tips
Step-by-Step Mark Allocation
Always state the governing principle or formula first, write given values with standard SI units, substitute clearly, and highlight the final numerical answer with units in a box for full step marking.
Common Calculation Traps
Watch for unit prefixes (cm to m, minutes to seconds, g to kg, degrees to radians). In coordinate and ray optics problems, double-check Cartesian sign conventions before computing.
