Question

8. Is the law of constant proportion applicable to the
non-stoichiometric compounds? Give reason. Give
another example where this law does not hold good.​

Answer 1

$\fbox{Answer = No}$

$Reason :-$

The law of constant proportions is not applicable to the non - stoichiometric compounds because these compounds do not have a fixed composition. The law of constant proportions does not hold good when a compound is obtained by using different isotopes of the elements present in that compound.

Hence, the given answer is verified.
