Which of the following best describes how further studies supported joseph proust's discovery about proportion of elements in water? max planck discovered the planck's constant. john dalton proposed that matter is made of tiny particles. james chadwick discovered neutral particles in the nucleus of the atom. niels bohr determined that electrons inhabit distinct energy levels.

Answer is: John Dalton proposed that matter is made of tiny particles.

Proust's law or law of constant composition said that a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio and does not depend on method of preparation.

Water (H₂O) is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom:

m(H) : m(O) = 2·1 : 16 = 1: 8.

Dalton said that matter is composed of atoms and atoms of different elements can join to form chemical compound.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
