Dalton’s atomic theory provided a molecular explanation for the laws of chemical combination. It proposed that chemical compounds are formed by the combination of atoms in fixed ratios, elucidating the law of definite proportions. Additionally, it accounted for the law of multiple proportions by recognizing different atomic ratios in compounds.
