Solution

Atomicity

  • The number of atoms constituting a molecule is known as its atomicity.
  • For example, an oxygen moleculeO2 is known as a diatomic molecule because it contains two oxygen atoms.

Atomicity of chlorine

  • A chlorine molecule Cl2 consists of two chlorine atoms.
  • So, the atomicity of chlorine is 2 as it is diatomic.

Atomicity of argon

  • Argon (Ar) is made up of only one atom of that element.
  • So, the atomicity of argon is 1 as it is monoatomic
