1. Law of conservation of mass :This law was stated by Lavoisier in 1744. It states that “In all physical and chemical changes, the total mass of reactants is equal to total mass of products.”
2. Law of constant proportions (or constant com-position) :
This law was first stated by Proust in 1797. According to the law “a
chemical compound is always found to be made up of the same elements
combined together in the same proportions by weight” e.g. the ratio of
hydrogen and oxygen in pure water is always 1: 8 by weight. This law is
also called law of definite proportions.
3. Dalton’s Atomic theory : Postulates of Dalton Atomic Theory- Matter is made up of extremely small indivisible particles called atoms.
- Atoms of the same substance are identical in all respects i.e., they possess same size, shape, mass, chemical properties etc. Atoms of different substances are different in all respects i.e., they possess different size, shape, mass etc.
- Atom is the smallest particle that takes part in a chemical reaction.
- Atoms of different elements May combine with each other in a fixed simple, whole number ratio to form compound atoms.
- Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed i.e., atoms are indestructible.
4. Atom : It is the smallest particle of
an element which can take part in a chemical change. It may or may not
be capable of independent existence.
5. Symbol: The abbreviation used for lengthy names of elements are termed as their symbols.The symbol of an element is the first letter or the first and another letter of English name or Latin name of the element. While writing a symbol, the first letter is always capital and the second is always small.
6. Molecule : It is the smallest particle
of an element or compound that is capable of inde-pendent existence and
shows all the properties of that substance.
[The molecules of an element is made up of only one and same
type of atoms, while the molecule of a compound is made up of
dissimilar atoms]
7. Atomicity : The number of atoms present
in a molecule of an element or a compound is known as its atomicity.
e.g. the atomicity of oxygen is 2 while atomicity ozone is 3.
8. Ion : It is an electrically charged atom
or group of atom. It is formed by the loss or gain of electrons by an
atom. Ions are of two types :
(i) Cation : It is positively charged ion and is formed by the loss of electron from an atom e.g. H+, Na+, Ca2+, Al3+, NH4+ etc.
(ii) Anion : It is negatively charged ion and is formed by the gain of electrons by an atom, e.g. Cl–, O2-, C–, F–, CO32- PO43- etc.
9. Valency : The combining power (or capacity) of an element is known as its valency.
10. Formula of simple and molecular compounds
Binary compounds are those compounds which are made up of two different
elements e.g. NaCl, KBr, CaO etc. Following rules are to be followed
for writing the formula.
(i) The valencies or charges on the ions must be balanced.(ii) For a compound made up of a metal and a non-metal, the symbol of metal is written first.
(iii) In compounds formed with polyatomic ions, the ion is
enclosed in a bracket before writing the number to indicate the ratio.
11. Atomic mass of an element : The atomic
mass of an element is the numerical number which indicates how many
times an atom of an element is heavier than 1/12 of mass of an
atom 12 of carbon-12. For example, the atomic mass of magnesium (Mg) is
24 which indicates that one atom of magnesium is 24 times heavier than
1/12 of a carbon-12 atom.
12. Gram atomic mass : The atomic mass of
an element expressed in grams is known as gram atomic mass. (Gram atomic
mass is also known as gram atomic weight)
13. 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. For example H2
contains two atoms of hydrogen, so molecular mass of H2 is 2 (2 x 1 =2)
14. Formula unit mass : It is equal to the sum o atomic masses of all the atoms in a formul unit.
In case of ionic compounds like NaCl formul mass is 58.5 (23 + 35.5 = 58.5)
15. Molecular Mass and Mole Concept : Mole the unit of a substance. It is a collection of 6.023 x 1023 particles.The mass of 1 mole particles is equal to its mas in grams.
Thus 1 mole = 6.023 x 1023 particles
1 mole atoms = 6.023 x 1023 atoms
1 mole electrons = 6.023 x 1023 electrons
1 mole protons = 6.023 x 1023 protons
1 mole ions = 6.023 x 1023 ions
1 mole molecules = 6.023 x 1023 molecules
1 mole atoms = 6.023 x 1023 atoms
1 mole electrons = 6.023 x 1023 electrons
1 mole protons = 6.023 x 1023 protons
1 mole ions = 6.023 x 1023 ions
1 mole molecules = 6.023 x 1023 molecules
16. Avogadro’s constant or Avogadro’s number: The number of particles present in one mole (i.e. 6.023 x 1023 particles) is called Avogadro’s number or Avogadro’s constant.
17. Mole1 mole = 6.023 x 1023 particles.
= mass of 1 mole particles in grams
= 22.4L of a gas at N.T.P.1 mole atoms = gm atomic mass
1 mole molecules = gm molecular mass
N.T.P. stands for normal temperature (0°C) and normal pressure (1 atomsphere or 76 mm of mercury.)
Number of moles (in a substance)
= Mass of substance in grams/grams molecular mass
= Volume of gas in litre (at N.T.P.)/22.4
