"The ratio of atoms in a compound is fixed."
Dalton's theory states that compounds are formed by atoms combining in simple whole-number ratios. The other statements are incorrect relative to Dalton: he held that atoms of different elements are different (not the same), that atoms are indivisible (not breakable), and that chemical reactions only rearrange atoms (they are not created or destroyed).
