define the law of multiple proportion.
Answers
Answer:
Law of multiple proportions, states that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
Explanation:
hope this helps.
When two elements combine with each other to form two or more compounds, the ratios of the masses of one element that combines with the fixed ratio of the other are simple whole numbers.
This example illustrates the law of multiple proportions: whenever the same two elements form more than one compound, the different masses of one element that combine with the same mass of the other element are in the ratio of small whole numbers.
