Dalton wondered why the heavier and
lighter gases in the atmosphere did not separate as oil and water do. He finally
concluded that the constituent{{U}} (61) {{/U}}must exist in the form of
tiny particles or atoms and that these{{U}} (62) {{/U}} be completely
mixed together in the atmosphere. This threw a new light in {{U}}(63)
{{/U}}law of definite proportions. It was only necessary to suppose that the atoms
{{U}}(64) {{/U}}combine into small groups of uniform{{U}} (65)
{{/U}}and so form more complex substance;{{U}} (66) {{/U}}the
mystery of this law was{{U}} (67) {{/U}}. Dalton suggested, for
example, that carbon monoxide {{U}}(68) {{/U}}formed by the one with
one{{U}} (69) {{/U}} of atoms of carbon and oxygen, {{U}}(70)
{{/U}}carbon dioxide results from a single {{U}}(71) {{/U}}of
carbon uniting with two atoms of oxygen. Assuming this to be true,{{U}}
(72) {{/U}}the definite proportions of Prout's law {{U}}(73)
{{/U}}all chemical compounds the different constituents {{U}}(74)
{{/U}}enter in unvarying proportions would naturally {{U}}(75) {{/U}} the
relative weights of the many different kinds of
atoms.
