the arguments regarding law of multiple proportion helped dalton to explain that atom is indivisible . how ??
Dear Student,
The law of multiple proportion states that when two or more elements combine with each other to form a compound, the weights of one element that combine with a given weight of the other element are in the ratios of small whole numbers. This statement also indicates that during the reaction, whole atom or atoms participate as reactants and whole atom or atoms are produced as product, but not a fraction or some part of atom. Thus, atom is indivisible.
