The law of multiple propotion states that when element A and B combine to form more than one chemical compound then the various masses of sample A react with a fixed mass of sample B are in a simple multiple ratio! Itz self explanatory!

ya pals you 're all right bcos, de law of mutiple proportion state dat wen 2element combine to form more than 1 compound, the mass of 1element, which combine with a fixed mass of the other element, will always be ratios of whole numbers.

THE ANSWER IS A BCOS The law of multiple proportions states that when two elements combine to form two or more compounds, the mass of one element that combines with a given mass of the other is in the ratio of small whole numbers.

A. Law of Multiple Proportions: When two elements form multiple compounds, the ratios of the masses of the second element that combine with a fixed mass of the first element are always small whole numbers. (e.g., carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide). in other words, if you have two elements, say milk and cubes of sugar (just examples), of which you want to make a compound (e.g. tea) it is said that if you will keep the amount of spoons of milk a constant whole number, then the suger will add/reduce increases/decrease in constant whole numbers for every cup of tea you make, delicious.

Mere lookin at the question,a normal scientist should knw that for the fact that chlorine is present at the base of the given molecules...........its multiple

since element X combines with chlorine to form different compounds,several masses of X combines with a fixed mass of chlorine in a simple ratio.

if two elements combine to form more than one compound, the ratio of the mass of the second element is a small, whole number of a fixed amount of the first element. For example, nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen tetroxide have nitrogen to oxygen ratios of 1:2 and 1:4.







whenever the same two elements form more than one compound, the different masses of one element that combine with the same mass of the other element are in …20 .

Still same.
