Order: The sum of powers of the concentration terms of the reactants in the rate equation is called order of the reaction.
It can become negative or fraction or whole number.
It is determined experimentally.
It it usually does not exceed 3.
Molecularity: The number of atoms or ions or molecules participating in rate determining step or the activated complex of the reaction is called molecularity.
It is always whole number or integer.
It theoretically determined from the mechanism of the reaction.
It does not exceed 3.
