Detailed Solution

Concept: The atomic number of chlorine, a halogen, is 17. Chlorine is a naturally occurring diatomic chemical.
We are aware that chlorine has an atomic mass of 35.5 g/mol.
We are also aware that the molecule of chlorine is diatomic. Its molecular mass is therefore twice as great as its atomic mass.
The molar mass of 1 molecule of chlorine Question Image =71g/mol
Mass of chlorine molecule is:
= Molarmass Avogadronumber 71 6.02× 10 23 g =1.179× 10 22 g
Hence, the mass of 1 molecule of chlorine is 1.179× 10 22  g .
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
