Question

" Explain how we can determined the
atomicity of of a gas
.​

Answer 1

$\huge \fbox \red{❥ Answer}$

Atomicity is determined as the ratio of molecular mass to atomic mass. For example, in the case of an oxygen molecule, the molecular mass of oxygen is 32 (= 2×16) and the atomic mass is 16. So, to derive the value of atomicity we will divide 32 / 16 =2. Thus, the atomicity of oxygen O2 is 2.

additional information

Atomaticity is defined as the the number of atoms of molecule that the each atom possess.

Example: The reaction of hydrogen and oxygen forming water.

2H

2

+O

2

→2H

2

O

In this reaction two molecules of hydrogen reacts with one molecule of oxygen forming two molecules of water.
