The correct answer is: PCl₃ and PCl₅

Explanation:

Law of multiple proportions, also known as the Dalton's Law, states that the when the two different chemical elements combine in order to form two or more than two chemical compounds, then the ratio of mass of the chemical element that combines with the fixed mass of other chemical element is the ratio of small whole numbers.
