Atoms And Molecules Class 9 Notes-Chapter 3: All Topic Covered which helps to improve your knowledge.
History:
- The idea of divisibility of Matter was considered long back in India around 500 BC. An Indian philosopher Mahrishi Kanad said that if we go on dividing the matter (Padarth) ultimately a stage will come when we will get the smallest particle beyond which further division will not be possible. He named This particle Parmanu.
- Around the same era ancient Greek philosophers Democritus and Leucippus suggested tha if we go on dividing matter, a stage will come when particles obtained cannot be divided further. Democritus called these indivisible particles atoms (means indivisible).
Law of chemical combination
The following two laws of chemical combination was given by Lavoisier and Joseph L. Proust :-
1.Law of conservation of mass:
![Atoms And Molecules Class 9 Notes-Chapter 3](https://i.ibb.co/2kPBmhF/image.png)
- Law of conservation of mass states that mass can niether be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction.
- The law of conservation of mass means that in a chemical reaction the total mass of products is equal to the total mass of reactants i.e. there is no change in mass during chemical reaction
- If 100 gram of calcium carbonate are decomposed completely then 56 gram of calcium oxide and 44 gram of carbon dioxide are formed
- mass of 𝑨 + mass of 𝑩 → mass of 𝑨B
- 𝑺 + 𝑭𝒆 → 𝑭𝒆 𝑺
𝟑𝟐 𝒈 𝟓𝟔 𝒈→ 𝟖𝟖 𝒈
2.Law of constant proportion:
- This law states that in a chemical substance the element are always present in a definite proportion by mass.
- In other words the chemical compound always consist of the same element combined together in the same proportion by mass.
- It is given by Proust
- Ex- the mass of hydrogen to the mass of oxygen is always 1:8 whatever the source of water. Thus if 9 gram of water is decomposed, 1 gram of hydrogen and 8 gram of oxygen are always obtained.
Dalton’s atomic theory
In 1808, Dalton Provided the Basic theory about the Nature of matter known as Dalton’s Atomic theory. According to Dalton atomic theory, all matter whether an element, a compound or a mixture is composed of small particles called atoms.
- All matter is made up of very tiny particles called atoms which participate in chemical reactions.
- Atoms are invisible particles which cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
- Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and chemical properties.
- Atoms of different element have different masses and chemical properties.
- Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form molecules.
- The relative number and kinds of atom are constant in a given compound.
What is an atom?
- An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in chemical reaction.
- Atoms are building block of all the matter.
- Atoms are very small in size.
- The size of an atom is indicated by the radius and this radius is called its atomic radius.
- Atomic radius is measured in nanometer.
- Hydrogen is the smallest atom of all
- Atomic mass of an element
Atomic mass unit = 1/12th of the mass of a carbon 12 atom - 1 AMU is defined as exactly 1/12th of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.
- Atomic mass of all other element are determined by comparing the mass of their atom with the mass of c12 atom.
Symbols of Elements
Dalton was the first scientist to use the symbol for elements
- In the Beginning, the names of elements were derived from the name of the place, where they were found for the first time.
Iron | Fe | Ferrum |
Sodium | Na | Natrium |
Copper | Cu | Cyprus |
Potassium | K | Kalium |
- Some names are taken from the Specific Colour
- Ex- : Gold → yellow
- Now; IUPAC approves names of element, symbol and units.
- First letter of a symbol is always written as a capital letter and second letter as a small letter
|
|
Name of Element | Latin Name | Symbol |
Silver | Argentum | Ag |
Copper | Cuprus | Cu |
Gold | Aurum | Au |
Iron | Ferrum | Fe |
Potassium | Kalium | K |
Sodium | Natrium | Na |
Lead | Plumbum | Pb |
Antimony | Stibium | Sb |
Tungsten | Wolfram | W |
How do atom exist?….
Atom usually exist in two ways, first one is in the form of molecules and second one is the form of ions.
1.Molecules:
- It is an electrically neutral group of two or more atom which is chemically bounded together
- It is the smallest particle of a substance(element or compound) which has the property of that substance and can be exist in the free state.
Molecules of element-
- The molecules of element contains two or more similar items which are chemically combined.
- Example- H2, O2,etc
- The number of atom present in one molecules called its atomicity.
Molecules Of compound-
- The molecules of compound contains two or more different types of atom which are chemically combined.
- Example- CO2, H2O
Atomicity:
The number of atoms contained in a molecule of substance(either element or compound) is called its atomicity.
2.Ions:
- An ions is a positively or negatively charged atom or group of atoms
Ex- Na+ - It is of two types cation and anion: Cation & Anion
1. Cation-
It is a positively charged iron.
It is formed by loss of one or more electron by an atom.
E.g.- When sodium (𝑁𝑎) loses an electron, sodium ion is formed (𝑁𝑎+). 𝑵𝒂+ is a cation because it has positive charge on it.
2. Anion-
It is an natively charged ion
It is formed by the gain of one or more electron
E.g.- When Chlorine (Cl) gains an electron, Chlorine ion is formed (𝑪𝒍−). 𝑪𝒍− is a anion because it has negative charge on it.
𝑪𝒍(𝒈) + 𝒆− → 𝑪𝒍−(𝒈)
𝑪𝒉𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒎 𝑨𝒏𝒊𝒐𝒏
Valency
- It is defined as the capcity of element to donate or accept the electron.
- A chemical compound is formed by the combination or more elements in a definite proportion by weight, the combining capacity of all the elements are not same.
- It is observed that one atom of an element combines with a definite number of atoms of other elements to form a stable compound & valency is defined as combining capacity of any element.
- Valency can be used to find out how the atoms of an element will combine with the atoms of another element to form chemical compound.
- We will see how to find valency in next chapter.
Valency | Name of ion | Symbol | Non- metallic element | Symbol | Polyatomic ions | Symbol |
1 | Sodium | 𝑁𝑎+ | Hydrogen | 𝐻+ | Ammonium | 𝑁𝐻4+ |
Potassium | 𝐾+ | Hydride | 𝐻− | Hydroxide | 𝑂𝐻− | |
Silver | 𝐴𝑔+ | Chloride | 𝐶𝑙− | Nitrate | 𝑁𝑂3− | |
Copper (I)* | 𝐶𝑢+ | Bromide | 𝐵𝑟 | |||
Iodide | 𝐼− | Hydrogen Carbonate | 𝐻𝐶𝑂3− | |||
2 | Magnesium | 𝑀𝑔2+ | Oxide | 𝑂2− | Carbonate | 𝐶𝑂32− |
Calcium | 𝐶𝑎2+ | Sulphide | 𝑆2− | Sulphite | 𝑆𝑂32− | |
Zinc | 𝑍𝑛2+ | Sulphate | 𝑆𝑂42− | |||
Iron (II)* | 𝐹𝑒2+ | |||||
Copper (II)* | 𝐶𝑢2+ | |||||
3 | Aluminium | 𝐴𝑙3+ | Nitride | 𝑁3− | Phosphate | 𝑃𝑂43− |
Iron (III)* | 𝐹𝑒3+ |
Chemical Formula
“It is the Symbolic Representation of the composition of a compounds.”
Characteristics of Chemical Formula
- The charges on ion must balance.
- When, symbol of metal comes first Example: 𝐶𝑎𝑂, 𝑁𝑎𝐶𝑙
- When polyatomic ions are used, the ions are enclosed in Brackets before writing the number to show the ratio. E.g.- 𝐶𝑎(𝑂𝐻)2,(𝑁𝐻4)2𝑆𝑂4
Rules for writing Chemical Formulas
- We have to first write symbols of elements which form a compound
- Below the symbol of each element, we should write their valency.
- Now cross over the valences of combining atom.
Formula of Simple Compound
Molecular Mass
It is the sum of atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule of that substance
Example: Molecular Mass of 𝐻2𝑂=2× Atomic mass of Hydrogen +1× Atomic
Molecular Mass of 𝐻2𝑂 = 2×1+16×1 = 2×16 = 32
Formula Unit Mass
The molecular of some substances are made up of ion. e.g. 𝑁𝑎𝐶𝑙 is made up of 𝑁𝑎+ and 𝐶𝑙− in these compound, we can also use the term formula unit mass in place of molecular mass.
Example: A formula unit of sodium chloride (𝑁𝑎𝐶𝑙) has formula unit mass =(23+35.5) =58.5 𝑢
A unit of Potassium carbonate (𝐾2𝐶𝑂3) has formula unit =(2×39+12+3×16)=138 𝑢
Mole concept
- A group of 6.022 * 10^23 particles (atoms molecules or ions) of a substance is called one mole of that substance
- Avogadro number= 6.022* 10^23
- One mole of atom = 6.022* 10^23 atom
- One mole of molecules = 6.022* 10^23 molecoles
Avogadro’s Number
“The Number of particles present in one mole of a substance is known as Avogadro’s Number.”
It is equal to 6.023×1023; It is represented by No and it is named in honour of Italian scientist Amedo Avogadro.
Relationship between mole, Avogadro number and mass
- 1 mole of carbon atom =6.022×1023 atoms of carbon and 022×1023 atom of carbon =12𝑔 of carbon atom
- 1 mole of hydrogen atoms =6.022×1023 of hydrogen =1 𝑔 of Hydrogen atom
- 1 mole of any particle =6.022×1023
- 1 mole of molecule =6.022×1023 number of molecule = Molecular mass in grams
