The simplest formula of a compound containing 50% of an element `X` (atomic weight 10) and 50% of element `Y` (atomic weight 20) is:

A

(a)XY

B

(b)`X_(2)Y`

C

(c )`XY_(3)`

D

(d)`X_(2)Y_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`{:("Element",%(a),"At. wt".(b),a//b,"Ratio"),(X,50,10,5,2),(Y,50,20,2.5,1):}`
