Why can't polyatomic ions ever stand alone?

Chemistry

7 0
The prefix "poly-" means "many," and "atomic" refers to atoms, so a polyatomic ion is made of 2+ atoms covalently bonded together. These ions are charged, which is why they can never stand alone.

Estimate the molar mass of a gas that effuses at 1.80 times the effusion rate of carbon dioxide. answer in units of g/mol.
Effectus [21]
From Grahams Law the rates of effusion of two gases are inversely proportional to the square roots of their molar masses at the same temperature and pressure.
Therefore; R1/R2 = √mm2/√mm1
The molecular mass of Carbon dioxide is 44 g
Hence;  1.8 = √(44/x
             3.24 = 44/x
                x = 44/3.24
                   = 13.58 
Therefore, the molar mass of the other gas is 13.58 g/mol
