    Law of multiple proportions, statement that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers. ...
<b>Read the law above carefully.</b>
a) NH3, H2O and NO2
<b> These are the SAME element</b>
b) NO, NO2 and N2O5
<b> N and O across the board. These are the same two elements combining with each other. b IS an example</b>
c) CO, CO2 and CH4
<b> CH4 keeps it from the same two elements. </b>
d) H2O, CO2 and CH4
<b> Not same two elements again.</b>
<b> b is an example that follows the law. a, c, d do not follow the law. But I have a problem with the question. a, c and d are not, in my opinion, examples of the law because a, c and d don't have the same two elements.
