The relative number and kinds of atom in a given compound remain constant”.

Explanation:

• The postulate of 'Dalton’s Atomic theory' which can explain the law of definite proportion.

• These postulates explain that atoms of same kinds are present in the same type of molecule like Substance made of up Carbon has the atoms of Carbon.

• Similarly the Copper metal has copper atom and similarly Iron metal has iron atoms in it and these are present in fixed proportions like Hydrogen and Oxygen in
• $h {}^{2} o$

Answer 2

Answer:

The postulate of Dalton's atomic theory which can explain the law of definite proportion is “The relative number and kind of atoms in a given compound remains constant”. ...
