Chemical Equation

Writing Chemical Equations A Balance Equation According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, atoms cannot be created or eliminated in the process of chemical reaction. Therefore, the amount of atom of each element before reaction must be equal after reaction. Example:Balance the following chemical equations: Mg +    O2 →    MgO CuO + … Read more

Chemical Formulae

Each element is represented by its own chemical symbol. In an element, the chemical formula represents the atoms in the molecule. The chemical formula tells us: the types of atoms or ions in the compound, the number of atoms or ions in the compound, For example, the chemical formula for ethene is C2H4. This shows … Read more

Concept of Mole

A mole is defined as the amount of substance which contains the Avogadro Number of particles. The Avogadro Number (or Avogadro Constant) is defined as the number of atoms in 12 g of the carbon-12 isotope, which is equal to 6.02 x 1023. 1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 Example:1 mol of atoms = 6.02 x … Read more

Relative Atomic Mass

Relative Atomic Mass Relative Atomic Mass The relative atomic mass (Ar) of an element is the average mass of one atom of the element when compared with 1/12 of the … Read more

Electron Arrangement in Atom

We have learnt that electrons occupy orbits with definite energy level of an atom, as suggested by Neils Bohr. These orbits with definite energy level are known as the shell. Every single shell is capable of holding up to certain amount of electrons. The first shell can hold up to two electrons. This is called … Read more

Modern Atomic Model

History of Development of the Model of Atom Table below shows the scientists that contribute to the development of the Model of Atom. John Dalton Five main points of Dalton’s Atomic Theory All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms. All atoms of a given element are identical, having the same size, mass, … Read more

3 States of Matter

Matter exists in 3 states of matter, namely, solid state, liquid state and gaseous state. Characteristics of Matter in Solid, Liquid and Gaseous State Arrangement of Particles Solid Particles are arranged in an orderly manner and close to one another. Liquid Particles are not arranged in order. The space between particles is moderately large. Gas The … Read more
