Law of Definite Proportions

A given chemical compound always contain its component elements in fixed ration (by weight) and does not depend on its source and method of preparation.

Law of Multiple Proportions

When two elements combine to form one compound, the mass of one element, when combined with a fixed mass of the other element, will always be ratios of whole numbers.

Dalton’s Theory

1. All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms.
2. Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties; atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and other properties (not true).
3. Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed (not true).
4. Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole number ratios to form chemical compounds.
5. In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, and rearranged.
