The table gives data for two Group 0 elements.
| Element | Relative mass of one atom | Boiling point (K) |
|---|---|---|
| neon | 20 | 27 |
| argon | 40 | 87 |
A student says:
"An argon atom has twice the relative mass of a neon atom. Therefore, the boiling point of argon is twice the boiling point of neon."
Evaluate the student's statement. Use the data.
