17.
The experimentally determined overall order of the reaction, A + B C + D, is two. Then the
reaction is elementary with a molecularity of 2.
molecularity of the reaction is 2, but the reaction may not be elementary.
reaction may be elementary with molecularity of 2.
reaction is elementary but the molecularity may not be 2.

The Correct answer is A only. Since molecularity is only applicable for elementary reactions and not non-elementary reactions then the overall order of the reaction is considered as Oder=molecularity for elementary rxn.

If only mentioned in the question about the overall order of reaction and no consideration of molecularity then we can say that order of reaction May or may not be elementary.

As per my knowledge B is the correct answer.

Not it was asked in GATE exam.

Option B should be the answer since it is experimentally determined value so it may not be elementary.
