For a reaction A+B `to` Products, the rate law is -Rate = `k[A][B]^(3//2)`
Can the reaction be an elementary reaction? Explain.

In an elementary reaction, the number of atoms or ions which are colliding to react is known as molecularity. Had the reaction been of elementary nature (single step reaction) the order of reaction with respect should have been 1 but it is `3//2` i.e. fractional. This shows that the reactioin is of complex nature and is not elementary reaction.
