Uranium-235 (UF₃₅) effuses faster than uranium-238 (UF₂₃₈) because of its lower molecular weight. According to Graham's law of effusion, the rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass. Since UF₃₅ has a molar mass of approximately 235 g/mol and UF₂₃₈ has a molar mass of about 238 g/mol, UF₃₅ effuses roughly 1.01 times faster than UF₂₃₈.
