Question

Longest mean free path stands for :

A. $${H_2}$$  
B. $${N_2}$$
C. $${O_2}$$
D. $$C{1_2}$$
Answer :   $${H_2}$$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{The mean free path,}} \cr & \lambda = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 \pi {a^2}N}} \cr & {\text{or}}\,\lambda \alpha \frac{1}{{{a^2}}},\,{\text{where}}\,a = {\text{molecular}}\,{\text{diameter}} \cr & \therefore \,\,\,{\text{Smaller the molecular diameter, longer the mean free}} \cr & {\text{path}}{\text{. Hence}}\,{H_2}\,{\text{is}}\,{\text{the}}\,{\text{answer}}{\text{.}} \cr} $$
