Detailed Solution

(a) For a complex reaction, order of overall reaction = molecularity of slowest step as rate of overall reaction depends upon total number of molecules involved in slowest step of the reaction. Hence, molecularity of the slowest step is equal to order of overall reaction.
(b) Completion of any reaction is not possible in the absence of reactants. Hence, slowest step of any chemical reactions must contain at least one reactant. Thus, molecularity of the slowest step is never zero or non- integer.
