1.	Compare the mean free path of hydrogen with that of oxygen molecules under the same conditions.
Answer» SOLUTION :The covalent RADIUS of oxygen is more than that of hydrogen, and mean free path is inversely PROPORTIONAL to MOLECULAR size. Therefore mean free path of oxygen is smallest than that of hydrogen.
