Question
Is it possible for the same two elements to form more than one compound? Is this consistent with Dalton's atomic theory? Give an example.
Step 1
Based on this theory, it is possible for the same two elements to form more than one compound if they combine in different ratios. This is because different ratios of atoms can result in different chemical properties and structures. For example, oxygen and Show more…
