chlorine
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify Diatomic Gases
Diatomic gases are molecules composed of only two atoms, of either the same or different chemical elements. The most common diatomic gases in their natural state are:
Oxygen (\(O_2\))
Fluorine (\(F_2\))
Hydrogen (\(H_2\))
Nitrogen (\(N_2\))
Chlorine (\(Cl_2\))
Step 2: List the Given Elements
The given elements in the question are:
Argon
Oxygen
Fluorine
Neon
Hydrogen
Nitrogen
Helium
Chlorine
Step 3: Match Diatomic Gases with Given Elements
From the list of given elements, we match the diatomic gases:
