Br- has 36 electrons whereas its nucleus contains 35 protons only. Br- radius is larger because of electron-electron repulsion and weaker pull by nucleus

(c)  (1 mark) Consider the following velocity distribution curves A and B. If the plots represent the velocity distribution of 1.0 L of H2(g) at 25°C verses 1.0 L of Cl2(g) at 25°C, which plot corresponds to each gas? Explain your reasoning.

A: Cl2(g) & B: H2(g)

At a given temperature, lighter molecules (H2) move faster than heavier molecules (Cl2). At a given temp, a gas with lower molar mass has higher most probable speed.
