Law of definite proportion or law of definite composition.
The law of constant proportion states that a pure chemical compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass.This information, together with the atomic masses of the elements in the compound enable scientists to determine the formula of a compound.

No. Bianry compounds contain exactly two elements, an example is NaCl. H2SO4 has three elements and is a ternary compound.
No. Calcium sulfate contains 3 elements (calcium, sulfur, and oxygen). A binary compound contains exactly two elements.

- The atom is representative for a chemical element (more exactly for an isotope); elements are formed from atoms. - A chemical compound contain two or more chemical elements. - A mixture contain two or more compounds.
A binary compound will contain atoms of only two elements. If the binary compound only contains nonmetal elements its name will begin with the prefix tetra.
Yes because no samples are exactly the same.

A binary compound is a chemical compound that contains exactly two different elements. O2 has one, so its not a binary compound.
In chemistry, the law of definite proportions and also the elements, sometimes called Proust's Law, states that a chemical compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass. An equivalent statement is the law of constant composition, which states that all samples of a given chemical compound have the same elemental composition.This observation was first made by the French chemist Joseph Proust based on several experiments conducted between 1798 and 1804. Based on such observations, Proust made statements like this one, in 1806:
cytoplasm is a mixture because it is not exactly made of elements straight.....like a compound would.....
