Explanation:
Defining law of definite proportions, it states that when two elements form more than one compound, the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will always be ratios of small whole numbers.
A. One of the oxides (Oxide 1) contains 63.2% of Mn.
Mass of the oxide = 100g
Mass of Mn = 63.2 g
Mass of O = 100 - 63.2
= 36.8 g
Ratio of Mn to O = 63.2/36.8
= 1.72
Another oxide (Oxide 2) contains 77.5% Mn.
Mass of oxide = 100 g
Mass of Mn = 77.5 g
Mass of O = 100 - 77.5
= 22.5 g
Ratio of Mn to O = 77.5/22.5
= 3.44
Therefore, the ratio of the masses of Mn and O in Oxide 1 and Oxide 2 is in the ratio 1.72 : 3.44, which is also 1 : 2. So the law of multiple proportions is obeyed.
B.
Oxide 1
Mass of Mn per 1 g of O = mass of Mn/mass of O
= 77.5/22.5
= 3.44 g/g of Oxygen.
Oxide 2
Mass of Mn per 1 g of O = mass of Mn/mass of O
= 77.5/22.5
= 3.44 g/g of Oxygen.
Answer:
C. Y & Z
Explanation:
V, W are imaginary metals here because their valence electrons are typically less than 4. X, Y, Z are non-metals and have higher valence electrons. Here, if V or W bind with X, Y, or Z we make ionic bond (because metal + non metal = ionic). But, if X binds with Y or Z or any combinations of any two of the three non-metals results in covalent bond (non metal + non metal = covalent).
Thus, Y and Z make covalent.
The answer would be b, or 2
<span>There are three different subatomic particles present in the atoms of each element: neutron, proton and </span>electron<span>. It is the </span>electrons<span>, and more specifically the valence </span>electrons<span>, that determine the reactivity of an element.</span>
