Answer:
D. chlorine, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen.
Explanation:
- Thomas Graham found that, at a constant temperature and pressure the rates of effusion of various gases are inversely proportional to the square root of their masses.
<em>ν ∝ 1/√M</em>
where ν is the rate of effusion and M is the atomic or molecular mass of the gas particles.
- The molecular mass for the listed gases are:
O₂: 32.0 g/mol,
Cl₂: 70.906 g/mol,
N₂: 28.0 g/mol,
H₂: 2.0 g/mol.
- Hence, the smallest molecular mass of the gas, the fastest rate of effusion.
So, the order from the slowest to the fastest rate of effusion is:
<em>Chlorine, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen.</em>

The atomic number of an element gives the proton and electron in the atom while the mass number gives the total number of protons and neutron
As it is located at 7s ^2 it will have 2 valence electrons that due to its position in the s orbital it will be prone to losing them to obtain a noble gas configuration.
