Answer:
Elements
Explanation:
The <u> elements</u> which are represented by a single uppercase letter, or represented by an uppercase letter followed by a lowercase letter. This tells you the types of <u>elements</u> in the compound.
Elements are one of the simplest chemical substances that cannot be decomposed in a chemical reaction or by any chemical means. They are made up of small indivisible particles called atoms, all having the same number of protons.

Answer:</h3>
Chlorine gas (Cl₂)
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- According to the Graham's law of diffusion, the diffusion rate of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density or molar mass.
- Therefore, a lighter gas will diffuse faster at a given temperature compared to a heavy gas.
- Consequently, the heavier a gas is then the denser it is and the slower it diffuses at a given temperature and vice versa.
In this case we are given gases, CI₂
, H₂,He and Ne.
- We are required to identify the gas that will diffuse at the slowest rate.
- In other words we are required to determine the heaviest gas.
Looking at the molar mass of the gases given;
Cl₂- 70.91 g/mol
H₂- 2.02 g/mol
He - 4.00 g/mol
Ne- 20.18 g/mol
Therefore, chlorine gas is the heaviest and thus will diffuse at the slowest rate among the choices given.
Alkanes do not have a double bond, thus they are saturated. This makes them the simplest form of hydrocarbon, containing only hydrogen and carbon atoms. They are not very reactive as they don't have a double bond which can open up and join on to other molecules.
