Solution
When two elements combine to form two or more compound, the different masses of one element combine with fixed mass of other element it bear a simple whole number ratio. For eg CO and CO2. This shows that as mass of elements bear a whole number ratio this proves that atom of particular element has similar mass so if twice in number of it combines it mass get double. This proves the existence of atom.
