Why can’t molecularity of any reaction be equal to zero?
(N/A) Molecularity is defined as the number of reacting species (atoms,ions,or molecules) taking part in an elementary reaction,which must collide in order to bring about a chemical reaction. Since a chemical reaction cannot occur without the participation of at least one reactant molecule,the minimum value for molecularity is $1$. Therefore,molecularity cannot be zero.

For a reaction,$AB_5 \to AB + 4B$,the rate can be expressed in the following ways:
$-\frac{d[AB_5]}{dt} = K[AB_5]$ ; $\frac{d[B]}{dt} = K_1[AB_5]$
What is the correct relation between $K$ and $K_1$?
