since I like science and got a dictionary about it. your wrong it states that any two elements ( none of which have to be carbon but one must be in fixed amount) combine in two proportions they are in simple ratio towards each other like in comparing CO2 with CO the amount of carbon stays the same but the ratio of the oxygen in both is in a weight ratio of 2:1.
