Read the passage carefully and answer the questions based on the passage:
The number of reacting species (atoms, ions or molecules) taking part in an elementary reaction, which must collide simultaneously in order to bring about a chemical reaction is called molecularity of a reaction. In the rate equation Rate \(=k[\mathrm{~A}]^x[\mathrm{~B}]^y\)
\(x\) and \(y\) indicate how sensitive the rate is to the change in concentration of A and B, respectively. Sum of these exponents, i.e., \(x +y\) gives the overall order of a reaction where \(x\) and \(y\) represent the order with respect to the reactants A and B respectively. Hence, the sum of powers of the concentration of the reactants in the rate law expression is called the order of that chemical reaction. For a first order reaction, the concentration of the reactant varies as \([\mathrm{R}]=[\mathrm{R}]_0 e^{-k t}\)
Which of the following is a zero order reaction?

  1. A Radioactive decay of unstable nuclei
  2. B Hydrogenation of ethene
  3. C Decomposition of gaseous ammonia on a hot platinum surface
  4. D Decomposition of \(\mathrm{N}_2 \mathrm{O}_5\)
