For instance, if the element M combines with the elements H and Cl, the same number of H and/or Cl atoms will be used. As an example, if the valence of M is 4, one might expect to find:
| MH4 | MCl4 | MH2Cl2 |

the character of uniting atoms may be, the combining power of an attracting
element always will be satisfied by the same number of these atoms.
