Class Ix Chapter 3Q QND Answer With Numericals
The symbols for representing an atom are generated from the first two letters of
the element’s name. The first letter is always in uppercase (capital letter) while
the second letter is written in lowercase. Here are some examples –
The Atomic Mass
The Dalton’s Atomic Theory suggested that each element has a distinguishing
atomic mass. With this theory, the law of constant proportions could be
explained easily.
But it is indeed difficult to evaluate the mass of an atom since the size of an
atom is relatively small.
Therefore scientists started evaluating the mass of an atom by comparing it with
the mass of a standard atom.
Earlier 1/16 of the mass of an oxygen atom was used as a standard for
calculating the mass of other elements. Now, carbon - 12 is considered a
standard atom for calculating the mass.
Its atomic mass is 12u (12 atomic mass units). Thus we can say that one atomic
mass unit is the mass of 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Here is a list of
atomic masses of a few elements.
Element Atomic Mass
Hydrogen 1µ
Carbon 12 µ
Nitrogen 14 µ
Oxygen 16 µ
Sodium 23 µ
Magnesium 24 µ
Sulphur 32 µ
Chlorine 35.5 µ
Calcium 40 µ
Can atoms exist independently?
Atoms cannot survive independently. So, atoms join together and form
molecules or ions.
Molecule
A molecule is a collection of various atoms that combine chemically with
each other.
These atoms are bound together by certain forces of attraction.
Atoms of the same elements or different elements can bind together to form
molecules.
Therefore, a molecule is the smallest particle of a substance that can exist
independently and shows all the properties of that substance.
Molecules of Elements
The molecules of an element are formed by combinations of similar types of
atoms. For example, Helium (He) is made up of only one atom while oxygen
is made up of two atoms.
Atomicity – the number of atoms in a molecule of an element is called its
atomicity. For example, helium is monoatomic and oxygen is diatomic.
Monoatomic – when an element comprises of a single atom. Example – all
metals
Diatomic – when an element comprises of two atoms. Example – all gases
Triatomic – when an element comprises of three atoms
Tetra-atomic – when an element comprises of four atoms
Poly-atomic – when an element comprises of more than two atoms
Here a few examples of atomicity of elements –
Atomicity of some Elements
Ions
Compounds contain metals as well as non-metals. These elements include
charged species which are known as ions.
Thus, ion is a particle that has a positive or negative charge.
Anion – negatively charged ion
Cation – positively charged ion
There can be a single charged atom in an ion or there may be a group of
charged atoms in an ion that have a net charge on the compound.
When a group of atoms carries a charge in a compound it is called as
a polyatomic ion.
Chemical Formula
We use a chemical formula to represent the composition of a compound in the
form of symbols. To write a chemical formula you must know two things –
1. Symbols of elements
2. Valency
Valency – it is also known as the combining capacity of an element. In other
words, valency explains how atoms of one element will mix with atoms of
another element. For example, the hydrogen ion is represented as H+ which
means that its valency is 1. Similarly, the oxygen ion is represented as O2-
which means that its valency is 2. Here is a list of valancies of various elements.
A quick review of how mole, Avogadro number and Mass are related to
each other –
, are:
Laws of Chemical Combination:
The process of combination of two or more elements to form new
compounds is governed by certain laws called laws of chemical
combination. These are:
For example, the ratio of hydrogen and oxygen in pure water is always 1:
8 by weight.
This law is also called law of definite proportions or law of constant
proportions.
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
According to Dalton’s atomic theory, all matter, whether an element, a
compound or a mixture is composed of small particles called atoms
Atomic Mass
Atomic mass of an element may be defined as the average relative mass
of an atom of the element as compared with the mass of an atom of
carbon (C-12 isotope) taken as 12 amu.
For example: Two atoms of hydrogen (H2) and one atom of oxygen (O2)
react with each other and form one molecule of water.
Atomicity:
The number of atoms present in a molecule of an element or a compound
is known as its atomicity.
For example a chlorine atom gains one electron to form a chloride ion Cl −.
Cl + e− → Cl−
Valency:
It is defined by the combining power (or capacity) of an element.
For example: Sodium ion (Na+ ). Potassium ion (K+ ), Hydrogen ion (H+ ).
Monovalent anion: Having anionic valency of -1.
Molecular Mass:
The number of times a molecule of a compound is heavier than the
1/12 of the mass of C-12 atom, is known as its molecular mass.
The molecular mass is equal to the sum of the atomic masses of all atoms
present in one molecule of the substance.
Mole Concept:
Mole: A collection of 6.023 × 1023particles is named as one mole.
1 mole = 6.023 × 1023 particles = Mass of 1 mole particles in grams
The mass of 1 mole particles is equal to its mass in grams.
1 mole atoms = gram atomic mass
Question 1
How many molecules of water are there in 54 g of H2O ?
Solution
Molar Mass of H2O= 2 + 16 = 18 g/moles
So ,number of moles of H2O = Mass/Molar Mass = 54/18 =3 moles
Now 1 moles = 6.022×1023molecule
So 3 moles will have 18.066×102318.066×1023 molecule
