Oxygen is 16 times more massive.
Hydrogens atomic mass = 1.001 g/mol
Oxygen atomic mass = 15.999 g/mol

An oxygen atom is 16x more massive than a hydrogen atom.

You can figure this out by comparing the atomic masses of the two elements: oxygen has an atomic mass number of 16, and hydrogen has an atomic mass number of 1. Thus, an oxygen atom is 16 times more massive than a hydrogen atom.

Answer:

1) 1,1,1-trichloropropane

2) 1,1,2-trichloropropane

3) 1,2,2-trichloropropane

4) 1,2,3-trichloropropane

Explanation:

For this question, we must remember that isomers are molecules that have the same formula but different structures. For the formula $C_3H_5Cl_3$ we can draw a linear chain of three carbons and change the position of the chlorine atoms in the carbon chain.

With this in mind, if we put all the chlorine atoms on the same carbon we will get 1,1,1-trichloropropane. If we change an atom from chlorine to carbon 2 we will obtain 1,1,2-trichloropropane. If we move another chlorine atom to carbon two we will get 1,2,2-trichloropropane. Finally, if we put a chlorine atom in each carbon we will obtain 1,2,3-trichloropropane.
