Case Study-Based Questions

Q2: Atom can be described as in building houses the building blocks of all matter are atoms. A molecule is in general a
group of two or more atoms that are chemically bonded together, that is, tightly held together by attractive forces. A
molecule can be defined as the smallest particle of an element or a compound that is capable of independent existence
and shows all the properties of that substance. Atoms of the same element or of different elements can join together to
form a molecule. The number of atoms constituting a molecule is known as its atomicity. Metals and some other
elements, such as carbon, do not have a simple structure but consist of a very large and indefinite number of atoms

bonded together
1. How many times an atom of sulphur is heavier than an atom of carbon?
1. 32 times
2. 12 times
3. 8/3 times
4. 12/32 times
2. Which of the following has a maximum number of the atom?
1. 18 g H2O
2. 18 g of O2
3. 18 g of CO2
4. 18 g of CH4
3. Which has the maximum number of molecules?
1. 1 g of CO2
2. 1 g of N2
3. 1 g of H2
