Answer:

in chemistry, if any 2 elements can combine in more than one ratio or proportion, different compounds with different properties can be created

Explanation:

for example, H2O and H2O2 contain the same elements, but in different ratios. because the ratios are different, different compounds are created. H2O is water, while H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide.
