Imagine a planet whose diameter and mass are both one half of those of Earth. The day's temperature of this planet's surface reaches up to 800 K800 \mathrm{~K}. Find whether oxygen molecules are possible in the atmosphere of this planet.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
vrms⁡v_{\operatorname{rms}} is very small compared to escape velocity on the planet, molecules cannot escape from the surface of the planet's atmosphere
Option A (vrms⁡v_{\operatorname{rms}} is very small compared to escape velocity on the planet, molecules cannot escape from the surface of the planet's atmosphere) is correct because the calculated RMS velocity is much less than the escape velocity.
