The Law of Multiple Proportions states that if 2 elements form more than one compound between them, if the mass of one of the elements is fixed, the masses of the other element will be in a ratio of small whole numbers.
In this case, the two elements are Fe and Cl, and the 2 compounds are X and Y. Let us fix the mass of Fe in 1.00 g and analyze what happens with the masses of Cl.
For X:
For Y:
The ratio mCl in X/mCl in Y is 1.27g/1.91g = 0.664 ≅ 2/3. This is a ratio of small whole numbers, which proves the Law of Multiple Proportions.
Answer:
the second one is synthesis reaction
Answer: b. One atom transferring electrons to another atom
Explanation: An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.
Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons between non metals
For example, In calcium iodide the one electron from calcium metal gets transferred to iodine atom and thus form an ionic bond to give 
Electronic configuration of calcium:
![[Ca]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BCa%5D%3D1s%5E22s%5E22p%5E63s%5E23p%5E64s%5E2)
Calcium atom will lose two electron to gain noble gas configuration and form calcium cation with +2 charge.
![[Ca^{2+}]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BCa%5E%7B2%2B%7D%5D%3D1s%5E22s%5E22p%5E63s%5E23p%5E6)
Electronic configuration of iodine:
![[I]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BI%5D%3D1s%5E22s%5E22p%5E63s%5E23p%5E64s%5E23d%5E%7B10%7D4p%5E5)
Iodine atom will gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form iodide ion with -1 charge.
![[I^-]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BI%5E-%5D%3D1s%5E22s%5E22p%5E63s%5E23p%5E64s%5E23d%5E%7B10%7D4p%5E6)
