Can a gas be broken into tiny particles like atoms?

Open in App

Solution

Some gases such as helium, argon etc are in atomic form. So, there is no need to break them. As far as gases such as hydrogen, chlorine are concerned, they exist as molecules, their atoms can be obtained by breaking the molecules but it requires a large amount of energy.
