(N/A) No,the molecularity of a reaction can never be zero or a fractional number. Molecularity is defined as the number of reacting species (atoms,ions,or molecules) taking part in an elementary reaction,which must collide simultaneously to bring about a chemical reaction. Since at least one molecule must be present for a collision to occur,the molecularity must be at least $1$.
