The correct answer is that statement B is not correct.
The Law of Chemical Combination includes fundamental principles like the Law of Conservation of Mass, Law of Definite Proportions, and Law of Multiple Proportions.
Statement A describes Avogadro’s Law, a key principle relating to gases in chemical reactions. Statement C is the Law of Conservation of Mass. Statement D is the Law of Definite Proportions (or Constant Composition). Statement B contradicts the Law of Multiple Proportions, which states that when two elements combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element are in a ratio of small whole numbers. The statement B says they are “not in any proportion”, which is false.
