Law of multiple proportion introduced by, JOHN DALTON
In chemistry, thelaw of multiple proportionsis one of the basiclawsofstoichiometryused to establish theatomic theory, alongside thelaw of conservation of mass(matter) and thelaw of definite proportions. It is sometimes calledDalton's Lawafter its discoverer, theBritishchemistJohn Dalton,who published it in the first part of the first volume of his "New System ofChemical Philosophy" (1808).The statement of the law is:
If twoelementsform more than onecompoundbetween them, then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of smallwhole numbers.
