.
Do you think "A + 2B goes to C" is termolecular or bimolecular?
What counts as "one molecular entity"?
Does 2B count as one molecular entity or two?
Thanks.

What does 2B mean to you? Can the reaction proceed if only one molecule of B were to collide with one molecule of A? Is that an 'effective' collision?
