LAW OF MULTIPLE PROPORTIONS
Statement: When two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound then the weight of one element that combines with fixed weight of other element is a simple whole number ratio.
E.g. Two elements Nitrogen and Oxygen combines to form more than one compound. Those compounds are NO, N₂O, NO₂, N₂O₃
If weight of O is fixed then ratio of N in above compounds in given order is:
1 : 2 : 1/2 : 2/3
This ratio can be simplified to
6 : 12 : 3 : 4
It is a whole number ratio. This is what law of multiple proportions sates.

hell... ooo..!!
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.
For example, there are five distinct oxides of nitrogen, and the weights of oxygen in combination with 14 grams of nitrogen are, in increasing order, 8, 16, 24, 32, and 40 grams, or in a ratio of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
hope this helps you....!
