Answer: radon (atomic mass 222 amu

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows:

\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}

atomic mass of krypton= 83.8 amu

atomic mass of argon= 39.95 amu

atomic mass of xenon = 131.3 amu

atomic mass of radon= 222 amu

Thus as atomic mass of radon is highest, its rate of diffusion is slowest.

What is the VSEPR notation for the molecule
Ilya [14]
VSEPR notation gives a general formula for classifying chemical species based on the number of electron pairs around a central atom. However, not all species have the same molecules.

For example, carbon dioxide and surfer dioxide are both species, but one is linear and another one is bent.

35000 kJ/ 0.250 s <br><br> kJ is kilojoules
mario62 [17]
The unit 'kJ' or kilojoules is a unit of measurement for energy. It is equivalent to the SI units kg·m²/s². When energy is divided with time, that unit is now in terms of work, which energy per unit time. The parameter kJ/s is equivalent to kW or kilowatts.

Work = 35,000 kJ/0.250 s = <em>140,000 kW</em>
