Answer:
Chlorine gas
Explanation:
At the same temperature, chlorine. Temperature can be thought of as the average kinetic energy of a substance. Since bromine is more massive than chlorine, than it makes sense that chlorine would have to travel faster to have the same kinetic energy, since kinetic energy = .5mv^2. Since chlorine moves faster, it diffuses faster.
