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 statements is not true for order of a reaction?
- A A balanced chemical equation does not give the correct order of reaction every time.
- B Order of a reaction cannot be fraction.
- C Order of a reaction can be determined experimentally only.
- D Order of a reaction can be zero also.

The transition metals and their compounds are known for their catalytic activity. This activity is ascribed to their ability to adopt multiple oxidation states and to form complexes. Vanadium(V) oxide (in Contact Process), finely divided iron, and nickel (in Catalytic Hydrogenation) are some of the examples. Catalysts at a solid surface involve the formation of bonds between reactant molecules and atoms of the surface of the catalyst (first row transition metals utilise 3d and 4s electrons for bonding). This has the effect of increasing the concentration of the reactants at the catalyst surface and also weakening of the bonds in the reacting molecules (the activation energy is lowering). Also because the transition metal ions can change their oxidation states, they become more effective as catalysts. Reaction between iodide and persulphate ions takes place as follows: \(2I^- + S_2O_8^{2-} \rightarrow I_2 + 2SO_4^{2-}\)
