Answer

Given,

Vapour density = relative atomic mass = 35.5

Molecular weight = 2 x Vapour Density = 2 x 35.5 = 71 g

Atomicity is the number of atoms present in one molecule of that element.

Number of atoms

=Molecular weightAtomic weight=7135.5=2= \dfrac{\text{Molecular weight}}{\text{Atomic weight}} \\[0.5em] = \dfrac{\text{71}}{\text{35.5}} \\[0.5em] = 2

Hence, atomicity of a gas X is 2
