As you go down a group on the periodic table, atomic radii tend to increase because elements with larger atomic numbers have more occupied electron levels which take up more space surrounding the nucleus.

Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Shape
The formula for water is H-O-H.
The central O atom has four electron pairs around it. They try to get as far from each other as possible, so they point toward the corners of a tetrahedron.
Only two of the pairs have a hydrogen atom attached, so water has a bent shape. The H-O-H bond angle is about 104°.
(b) Chemical magnet
The O atom has a greater attraction than H for the shared electrons in the O-H bonds, so the electrons spend more time near the O.
This gives the O atom a partial negative charge (pink in the diagram) and the H atoms a partial positive charge (blue).
The water molecule acts like a chemical magnet because its negative end attracts the positive ends of other molecules, while its positive ends attract the negative ends of other molecules.
Given that the pressure, temperature and area of effusion is constant, the rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular mass of the gas.
Mr Oxygen = 32
Mr Argon = 40
Effusion Oxygen = 1/√32
Effusion Argon = 1/√40
Effusion Oxygen / Effusion Argon = √(40) / √(32)
=√(40/32) = √(5/4) = 1.19
Thus, Oxygen will effuse 1.19 times faster than Argon. The second option is correct.
V = ( 2.44 x 10⁻² ) x ( 1.4 x 10⁻³ ) x ( 8.4 x 10⁻³ )
V = 2.9 x 10⁻⁷ m³
