When One element combines with the other element to form two or more different compounds, the mass of one elements, which combines with a constant mass of the other, bear a simple whole number ratio to one another.
Note :- SIMPLE RATIO HERE MEANS THE RATIO BETWEEN SMALL NATURAL NUMBERS, SUCH AS 1:1 , 1:2 , 1:3 LATER ON THIS SIMPLE RATIO BECOMES THE VALENCY AND THEN OXIDATION STATE OF THE ELEMENT.
