Eli5: Which is the most massive gas?

638 views

What is the material with the most massive molecules that we are able to keep at the gas state? (Without chemical reactions happening and without non elastic shape deformations of the molecules). And why that one?

Edit: I mean, in a multi-molecule system, so that molecules have to withstand bumps.

A single molecule of any material in a large space would be considered that material in a “gaseous” state.

Currently the largest molecule ever created is PG5, but there is no theoretical upper limit.
