i)                Matter is anything that has weight or mass and occupies a space.

ii)               An atom is the smallest particle of an element that has all the chemical properties of that element.

iii)             Electronic configuration is the arrangement of electrons in different shells of an atom.

iv)             Atomic number is the number of proton in an atom.

v)               Relative Atomic Mass (RAM) is the mass of an atom obtained by comparing it with the arbitrary mass of a carbon-12 atom.

 

03. (a) Modern concepts of Dalton’s Atomic Theory

§  Atoms can be created or destroyed by means of nuclear reactions

§  Atoms of one element (isotopes) differ slightly in mass

§  Atom is made up of smaller sub-atomic particles (proton, neutron and electron)

§  Atoms of different elements may combine in many different ratio to form complex compounds.

 

(b) Properties of sub-atomic particles

i) Proton

o   It is a positively charged particle

o   It is found in the nucleus of an atom

o   Its symbol is P

o   Its charge is +1

o   Its real mass is 1.16726 x 10-24 g

 

ii) Neutron

o   It is neutral particle of an atom (it has no charge)

o   It is found in the nucleus of an atom

o   Its symbol is n

o   Its charge is 0

o   Its real mass is 1.6750 x 10-24 g

 

iii) Electron

o   It is a negatively charged particle of an atom

o   It is found around the nucleus

o   Its symbol is e-1

o   Its real mass is 9.109 x 10-28 g

 

04. (a) Isotopes are the atoms of the same element which have the same atomic number but different atomic mass.

(b) From Relative Atomic mass (RAM) = ∑ (Abundance of atom x atomic mass)

RAM = 

          = 35.5

o   The Relative Atomic mass of Chlorine is 35.5

 

 

05. (a) 4924Q  ,

From, A = P + n

Where:

A = Atomic number/ atomic mass

P = Atomic number/ number of proton

n = number of neutron

49 = 24 + n, n = 49 -24 à 25

i.                 The neutron number is 25

ii.               The number of electron = number of proton = 24

 

(b) 15M = 2:8:5, element M belongs to Group V and period 3
