A diatomic gas has the molar mass of 38.00g/mol. What is the possible formula?

The answer would be F₂. This is because you have 2 fluorine atoms. so you divide the 38g/mol by 2 atoms which gets you 19 g/mol per atom. Now all you have to do is find the atom with the molar mass of 19g/mol which is fluorine.

I hope this helps :)
