coefficients are the exponents?

Answer:
For elementary reactions, you can write the rate law with coefficients as exponents. This is because at the elementary level, the molecularity describes exactly what is happening. However, for the overall reaction, you cannot directly state that the coefficients are the exponents of each reactant.
