Argon chloride, ArCl is least likely to exist.

Argon belongs to the noble gas family. It has an atomic number of 18 and a valence electron configuration: 3s²3p⁶. Since the valence shell is completely filled i.e. it already has an octet configuration, this makes it stable and chemically inert. When approached closely by another element, Cl in this case, the fully filled valence shell of Ar would repel the incoming electron cloud. The only bond that could exist is the extremely weak, long-range Vander-Waals bond between Ar and Cl.

Answer:

D. The particles move up and down without changing their position

Explanation:

These are gases. They are typically known for their randomness and no fixed arrangement of their atoms.

Gases generally assume the volumes of the containers they fill. They spread easily and readily to fill the volume where they occupy. Also, gases are readily compressible as they lack intermolecular attraction between their molecules.
