Berzelius proposed which theory for chemical compounds?

  • Atomic Theory

  • Quantum Theory

  • Electrochemical Dualism

  • Kinetic Theory

Answer

Theory of electrochemical dualism proposed by Jöns Jacob Berzelius suggests that all chemical compounds are composed of positively and negatively charged components. These components are termed "electropositive" and "electronegative" respectively. In this theory, chemical bonding occurs as a result of the attraction between these oppositely charged components, leading to the formation of electrically neutral compounds.
