Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A molecule or compound which has large molecular mass will be the heaviest in nature.

Since we have to find the heaviest gas out of the given options, so we will calculate the molar mass of each gas as follows.

Molar mass of $O_{2}$ = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of $CH{_4}$ = 16.04 g/mol

Molar mass of $CO_{2}$ = 44.01 g/mol

Molar mass of $Cl_{2}$ = 70.90 g/mol

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options $Cl_{2}$ is the heaviest gas.

Answer:

The combined mass of all the protons and electrons is 24.305.

Explanation:

From the information given about the atom, we can see that the relative atom mass of the element is 24.305.

The relative atomic mass of an atom is the combined mass of all its isotope in proportion of their geonormal abundances. On the periodic table, this mass deals with the amount of protons and neutrons present in a given atom.

Which is the most active nonmetallic element in group 16?

timama [110]

Oxygen

For metals, reactivity increases as we move through the elements in the period table from top to bottom, and left to right. In contrast, for nonmetals, reactivity increases as we move through the elements in the periodic table, as we move from bottom to the top, and right to left.

Group 16 on the periodic table is also called the oxygen family or chalcogens. It includes the following elements from top to bottom: Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium, Tellurium, and Polonium. Of these, only Oxygen, Sulfur, and Selenium are nonmetals. Since reactivity of nonmetals increases going up the periodic table, oxygen is therefore the most reactive nonmetal in the group. Shown in the figure below is the reactivity trend in the periodic table.
