Marguerite · Answer 1

a. C > F > Cl

Explanation:

We know that atomic mass of Chlorine is greater than of Florine than that of carbon. Moreover, in CF2Cl2, therefore, there are two atoms of Cl, F and one atom of C. Therefore, in CF2Cl2 in order of decreasing mass percent composition C > F > Cl. Therefore, the correct option is a.
