It means that different compounds composed of the same elements have their own unique proportion of those elements. For example, both water (H2O) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are composed of hydrogen and oxygen. However, the proportion of hydrogen to oxygen in water is 2 to 1, and the proportion of hydrogen to oxygen in hydrogen peroxide is 1 to 1.
