Answer: Hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed.

Explanation:

The formula for average speed is  :

\mu_{av}={\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M}}}

R = gas constant  

T = temperature  

M = Molecular Mass

Now putting all the values:

\frac{\nu_{H_2}}{\nu_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M_{H_2}}}/{\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M_{O_2}}}

\frac{\nu_{H_2}}{\nu_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{16}{2}}

\frac{\nu_{av}_{H_2}}{\nu_{av}_{O_2}}=8

Thus average speed of hydrogen is 8 times the average speed of oxygen. Thus hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed

Identify the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a neutral atom of each of the following (you can refer to a periodic
Delvig [45]
You must first know that the number of protons and neutrons are same, and neutrons number may vary. Carbon 12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. Sodium 23 has 12 protons , 12 electrons and and 11 neutrons. Silver 108 has 47 protons, 47 electrons and 61 electrons. Finally, Sulfur 32 has 16 protons, 16 nuetrons and 16 electrons. Basically the number of neutrons in an atom can be found by subtracting proton number from mass number
