Law of Definite Proportions states that….
a chemical compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass
Law of Multiple Proportions states that….
If two elements form more than one compound between them, then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers.
