Choose the correct interpretation of this result in terms of the law of definite proportion. the composition of a substance depends on the total number of atoms and not on the composition of the mixture from which it was formed. the composition of a substance depends on the numbers of atoms of each element making up the compound (depends on the formula of the compound) and not on the composition of the mixture from which it was formed. the composition of a substance depends on the composition of the mixture from which it was formed and not on the numbers of atoms of each element making up the compound (not on the formula of the compound). the composition of a mixture depends on the numbers of atoms of each element making up the mixture and not on the composition of the substance from which it was formed.

As per the law of definite proportion which is also called proust's law The composition of a substance depends on the total number of atoms and not on the composition of the mixture from which it was formed.

Like in the preparation of water 2 hydrogen molecule and one oxygen molecule reacts with each other to form 2 molecules of water. The reaction is 2(g) + (g) = 2(l). Here the origin of the components i.e. hydrogen and oxygen does not matter it depends upon the number of atoms present in the reactant and product. Thus among all the other interpretations- The composition of a substance depends on the total number of atoms and not on the composition of the mixture from which it was formed. This is correct.

Answer : Option B) The period 2 element would be more reactive because the attractive force of protons is stronger when electrons are attracted to a closer electron shell.

Explanation : The reactivity of the Periods decreases as we go from left to right across a period. The farther to the left and down the periodic chart we go, the easier it is for electrons to be donated or taken away, resulting in higher reactivities of the elements. The attractive force of the protons is found to be stronger when electrons are found to be attracted to a closer electron shell.
