D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] Non-stoichiometric compounds are chemical compounds with an elemental composition that cannot be represented by a ratio of well-defined natural numbers, and are therefore in violation of the law of definite proportions.

They are most often solids that contain random defects, resulting in the deficiency of one element. So, none of given option is correct.
