The correct option is A.
The law of definite proportion states that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio irrespective of the source they are obtain from.
For instance, water is made up of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. Water can not be formed in any other way. Combining the oxygen and the hydrogen in another ratio will give us another thing not water.

When does a star reach equilibrium?
Snezhnost [94]
Actually, that does not happen until the protostar becomes a star when nuclear ignition starts and is maintained. It takes awhile for new star to go through its T-Tauri stage and settle down on the main sequence. 

<span>A STAR does not reach hydrostatic equilibrium until it on the main sequence. Otherwise, it would remain a brown dwarf with not enough mass to to maintain nuclear fusion for more than 3,000 to 10,00 years. </span>

Andreyy89

Answer:

D.

It would not be gain because it would say +6 instead of -2. Having a -2 charge means it wants to loose 2 electrons so it can form a full shell of 8 electrons. It wants to be inert (stable).

- Hope that helps! Please let me know if you need further explanation.
