Answer:
Many reactions take place in a series of steps. Such reactions are called complex reactions. Eachnstep taking place in a complex reaction is called elementary reaction. This shows that a complex reaction is broken down in a series of elementary chemical reactions.
By adding all the elementary steps of a complex reaction we get the overall reaction. The mechanism of a reaction is decided from then sequence of the elementary steps that are added to give overall reaction. Elementary reaction It is defined as the reaction which takes place in a single step and cannot be divided further into simpler chemical reactions. The order and molecularity of the elementary reaction are same.
