The law of definite proportions, also known law of definite composition, states that regardless of the amount, a pure compound always contains the same elements in the same proportions by mass. Law of multiple proportions, also known as Dalton s Law, states that when one element combines with another to form more than one compound, the mass rations of the elements in the compounds are simple whole numbers of each other.
LAW OF DEFINITION PROPORTIONS EXAMPLE
The law of definite proportions says water will always contain 1/9 hydrogen and 8/9 oxygen by mass.
EXCEPTIONS TO THE LAW OF DEFINITE PROPORTIONS
Although the law of definite proportions is useful in chemistry, there are exceptions to the rule. Some compounds are non-stoichiometric in nature, meaning their elemental composition varies from one sample to another. For example, wustite is a type of iron oxide with an elemental composition varying between 0.83 and 0.95 iron atoms for each oxygen atom (23%-25% oxygen by mass). It ideal formula is FeO, but the crystal structure is such that there are variations. The formula is written Fe0.95O.
Also, isotopic composition of an element sample varies according to its source. This means the mass of a pure stoichiometric compound will be slightly different depending on its origin.
Polymers also vary in element composition by mass, although they are not considered true chemical compounds in the strictest chemical sense.

Molecular mass or molecular weight is the mass of a molecule. It is calculated as the sum of the atomic weights of each constituent element multiplied by the number of atoms of that element in the molecular formula.

Chemistry is the branch of science concerned with the substances of which matter is composed, the investigation of their properties and reactions, and the use of such reactions to form new substances.

A polyatomic ion, also known as a molecular ion, is a charged chemical species (ion) composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded or of a metal complex that can be considered to be acting as a single unit, ions of two atoms are commonly referred to as polyatomic.
An example of a polyatomic ion is the hydroxide ion; consisting of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom, hydroxide has a charge of −1. Its chemical formula is OH−. Polyatomic ions are often useful in the context of acid-base chemistry or in the formation of salts.

Diatomic molecules are molecules composed of only two atoms, of the same or different chemical elements. The prefix di- is of Greek origin, meaning "two".
There are seven elements that naturally occur as homonuclear diatomic molecules in their gaseous states: hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.
If the diatomic molecule consists of atoms from two different elements, then it is a heteronuclear diatomic molecule.

The Wurtz reaction is limited to the synthesis of symmetric alkanes. If two dissimilar alkyl halides are taken as reactants, then the product is a mixture of alkanes that is, often, difficult to separate as the difference in boiling point would be very low in these cases therefore distillation wouldn't work.
Also, since the reaction involves free radical species, a side reaction occurs to produce an alkene. This side-reaction becomes more significant when the alkyl halides are bulky at the halogen-attached carbon. This is because the activation energy required becomes significantly high, so the alternate elimination mechanism is favoured. That's why you should only use primary alkyl halides for the reaction. otherwise use a reagent in which the tertiary or secondary carbon is attached with sodium metal.
