John Dalton wrote four essays called "Experimental Essays" based on his "Atomic Theory", which explained matter as consisting of discrete atoms, that there was one type of atom for each element, and that the compounds were made of combinations of different types of atoms in fixed proportions.

'Law of multiple Proportion was discovered by whom?

The law of multiple proportions was proposed by John Dalton in the early 19th century. It states that when elements combine to form compounds, the ratio of masses of one element that combines with a fixed mass of the other element can be expressed in small whole numbers.


Dalton's fourth postulate states that atoms combine?

Dalton's fourth postulate states that atoms combine in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds. This postulate laid the foundation for the law of definite proportions and the law of multiple proportions in chemical reactions and helped in the development of modern atomic theory.


The difference between law of definite proportions and law of multiply proportions?

Both laws have to do with relating to Dalton's Atomic Theory. The only difference is that the Law of Definite Proportions deals with elements combining to form ONE compound in a simple whole number ratio. The Law of Multiple Proportions is comparing the same 2 elements that make up 2 different compounds, the division of these 2 ratios should equal a simple whole number ratio.
