This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
When two elements form more than one compound, the second element's combining masses per fixed mass of the first form a small whole-number ratio.
Show
Chlorine combines with copper in a 0.558-to-1 ratio in one compound, 1.116-to-1 in another — a 2-to-1 ratio of ratios.
Watch for
The ratio compares masses across two compounds, not atoms within one — confusing the two misreads the law.
