Which postulate of Dalton’s atomic theory explains the Law of Definite Proportions?

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) Atoms combine in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds
Explanation:
• Law of Definite Proportions states fixed composition of compounds.
• Dalton explained this using fixed atomic ratios.
• Chemical combination follows simple numerical relationships.
Information Booster:
• Supports law proposed by Joseph Proust.
• Foundation for modern stoichiometry concepts.
Additional Knowledge (Incorrect Options):
(a) Different masses
• Explains elemental distinction, not proportions.
(b) Identical atoms
• Relates to elemental uniformity.
(c) Indivisible atoms
• Later disproved by subatomic particles.
