Law of multiple proportions,states that when twoelementscombine with each other to form more than onecompound, the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
Egthere are five distinctoxidesofnitrogen, and the weights ofoxygenin 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.
