“A chemical compound always contains
the same elements combined together
in the same proportion by mass”
For example: carbon dioxide can be
obtained by different methods such as
6 2
burning of carbon, heating limestone,
by the action of dil.HCl on marble etc.
Each sample of carbon dioxide contains
carbon and oxygen combined in the
ratio of 3:8 by mass.

9 i Trigonal bipyramidal
It contains two types of bonds: axial
and equatorial. Two equatorial bonds
ii are longer and weaker than three axial
bonds. So on heating axial bonds will
break easily.
