Physics (from Ancient Greek: phusikḗ  "knowledge of nature", from  "nature") is the natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force.More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.
Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines, perhaps the oldest through its inclusion of astronomy. Over the last two millennia, physics was a part of natural philosophy along with chemistry, certain branches of mathematics, and biology, but during the scientific revolution in the 17th century, the natural sciences emerged as unique research programs in their own right. Physics intersects with many interdisciplinary areas of research, such as biophysics and quantum chemistry, and the boundaries of physics are not rigidly defined. New ideas in physics often explain the fundamental mechanisms of other sciences[6] while opening new avenues of research in areas such as mathematics and philosophy.
Physics also makes significant contributions through advances in new technologies that arise from theoretical breakthroughs. For example, advances in the understanding of electromagnetism or nuclear physics led directly to the development of new products that have dramatically transformed modern-day society, such as television, computers, domestic appliances, andnuclear weapons.advances in thermodynamics led to the development of industrialization, and advances in mechanics inspired the development of calculus

Is Matter Around Us Pure
Mixture - Introduction
Matters can be classified into two types – Pure substances and Impure substances.
Pure substances – Pure substances are of two types – Elements and Compounds.
Impure substances – All mixture are considered as impure substances.

Most of the substances in our surroundings are not in their pure form and are called mixture. Substances which are made of two or more matters and which can be separated by physical methods are known as mixtures, such as mixture of salt and water, mixture of sugar and water, mixture of different gases, air, etc.
In a mixture, components do not combine chemically or through any chemical change. In a mixture, components do not lose their properties.
Mixtures are of two types on the basis of their composition - Homogeneous mixture and Heterogeneous mixture.
Homogeneous Mixture
Mixtures which have uniform composition throughout are called Homogeneous Mixture. For example – mixture of salt and water, mixture of sugar and water, air, lemonade, soda water, etc.
Mixture of salt in water is an example of homogeneous mixture. In this mixture, the boundary of salt and water cannot be differentiated. When a ray of light is passed through the mixture of salt and water, the path of light is not seen.
General Properties of Homogeneous Mixture:
·All solutions are the examples of homogeneous mixture.
·The particles of a homogeneous mixture are less the one nanometer.
·A homogenous mixture does not show Tyndall effect.
·The boundaries of particles cannot be differentiated.
·The constituent particles of homogenous mixture cannot be separated using centrifugation or decantation.
·Alloys are the examples of solution.
Heterogeneous Mixture
Mixtures which do not have uniform composition throughout are called Heterogeneous Mixture. For example – mixture of soil and sand, mixture of sulphur and iron fillings, mixture of oil and water etc. The boundaries of constituent particles of a homogeneous mixture can be identified easily; as a homogeneous mixture has two or more distinct phases.
General Properties of Heterogeneous Mixture:
·Most of the mixtures are heterogeneous except solutions and alloys.
·The constituent particles are present uniformly in a heterogeneous mixture.
·The components of a heterogeneous mixture can be identified easily.
·Generally, two or more phases are present in a heterogeneous mixture.
·Particles of a heterogeneous mixture are sized between one nanometer and one micrometer or more.
·Heterogeneous mixtures show Tyndall effect.
Types of Mixture
Mixture can be categorised in three types on the basis of their particles’ size. These are; solution, suspension and colloid.
Solution:
Mixture of two or more substances with one phase only, i.e. having no distinct boundary of constituent particles are called solution. For example, solution of sugar and water, solution of salt and water, lemonade, soft drinks, etc. Solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
In a solution, components are mixed in such a way that they appear as only one phase. Seeing by naked eye, constituent particles of a solution cannot be identified because particles are mixed evenly throughout.
In a solution, there are two types of components – one is called solute and other is called solvent.
Solute – Substance which is present in smaller quantity in a mixture is called solute.
Solvent – Substance in a mixture which is present in larger quantity in a mixture is called solvent.
Example: In the solution of salt and water, salt is present in small quantity while water is present in larger quantity. Here salt is solute and water is solvent.
Solution of tincture iodine is made by dissolving iodine in alcohol. In this solution, iodine is solute and alcohol is solvent.
Air is mixture of many gases. Since air consists of only one phase, thus it is considered as solution. Air consists about 78% of nitrogen and 22% rest of other gases. Thus in the case of air, nitrogen can be called as solvent and rest other gases as solutes.
Solvent and solute can be solid, liquid or gas.
Types of solution
Solid - solid solution – Solution of two or more solids are generally known as solid-solid solution. For example – alloys. Alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two or more metals and non metals or two metals or two non-metals. The components of an alloy cannot be separated by physical methods, their boundaries are not distinct and they can have variable compositions, thus alloy is considered as solution.
Solid – Liquid solution – Solution of solid and liquid is called solid-liquid solution. For example - solution of salt and water.
Liquid – liquid solution – Solution of two miscible liquids are called liquid-liquid solution, such as solution of water and acetic acid. The solution of acetic acid in water is known as vinegar.
Gas - liquid solution – Solution of gas into liquid is called gas-liquid solution. For example – Soft drink. In soft drink, carbon dioxide is usually dissolved in liquid, because of which a hiss sound comes while opening the cap of the bottle.
Gas-gas solution – Solution of two or more gas is called gas-gas solution. For example – air, which is the solution of many gases, such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc.
General Characteristics of Solution:
·Solutions are homogeneous mixture of two or more substances.
·Constituent particles of a solution are mixed evenly throughout.
·There is only one phase in a solution.
·Boundaries of constituent particles cannot be distinguished.
·The size of particles of solution is smaller than one nanometer.
·Solutions do not show Tyndall effect, because, small particles of solution do not scatter the ray of light.
·Solute cannot be separated by using filtration or decantation.
·Solutions are stable, since when left undisturbed the particles do not settle in bottom.
Saturated and Unsaturated Solutions
Saturated Solution: When a solution cannot dissolve more solute at a given temperature, the point is called saturation point of the solution and solution is called saturated solution. This means, no more solute can be dissolved in a saturated solution at a given temperature.
Unsaturated Solution: Solution in which more solution can dissolved at a given temperature, is called unsaturated solution.
Solubility: Solubility is the amount of solute in a saturated solution at a given temperature. In other words, maximum capacity to dissolve a solute in a solution at a given temperature is called solubility.
Different solvents can dissolve different amount of solute. This means different solvents have different solubility Solubility increases with increase in temperature.
Concentration: Concentration is the amount of solute present in a given amount of solvent or solution.
concentration=Amount of solute/amount of solvent or
concentration=Amount of solute/amount of solution
Thus, concentration is the ratio of amount of solute and amount of solvent.
Concentration can be expressed in mass percentage or volume percentage of a solution.
(a) Mass percentage of a solution
concentration=(mass of solute/mass of solution)*100
This means when concentration is expressed in mass percentage, it is called concentration by mass percentage.
(b) Volume percentage of a solution
concentration=(volume of solute/volume of solution)*100
This means when concentration is expressed in volume percentage, it is called concentration by volume percentage.
Separation of Components of Mixture
Centrifugation –
In the method of centrifugation, the centripetal and centrifugal forces are used to separate lighter and heavier components of mixture of two immiscible liquids. This process is used to separate very small solids particles from a liquid mixture.
Example – Milk is the mixture of fat, water, and other constituents. Using the method of centrifugation, most of the fat can be separated from milk. In milk, fat is suspended throughout the milk which is separated out using the method of centrifugation.
When milk is churned rapidly, water which is heavier than fat, migrates away from the centre of centrifuge while fat is forced towards the bottom, which is drained out.
Application of centrifugation –
·In pathological test of blood and urine.
·In separation of fat from milk.
·In washing machines to squeeze the water from wet clothes.
Decantation –
Decantation is used to separate the components from a mixture of two immiscible liquids, such as mixture of oil and water. In a mixture of two immiscible liquids, lighter one and heavier one form separate layer. The lighter one can be decanted after settling of mixture, carefully in other container.
In the process of decantation some of the heavier liquid also poured out with lighter one. Therefore, components from a mixture of two immiscible liquids; can be separated more easily and accurately using a separating funnel.
A separating funnel is usually made of glass with a stop cork with drain pipe at bottom. The heavier liquid which is settled at bottom is drained out from the mixture of two immiscible liquids by opening of stop cork from a separating funnel.
Sublimation
There are many substances which are converted into gas from solid when heated, and converted from gas to solid when cooled without converting into liquid. Such substances are known as sublime. For example – ammonium chloride, naphthalene balls, camphor, etc. Therefore, mixture of one sublime and other substance can be separated using the method of sublimation.
The mixture of ammonium chloride and common salt can be separated out using the process of sublimation. For this, the mixture is heated in a China dish. The China dish is covered by an inverted funnel. Cotton is used for plugging the opening of the funnel. After heating, ammonium chloride is converted into vapour and gets deposited over the inner surface of funnel; due to cooling. This leaves the common salt in China dish. Ammonium chloride can be taken out by scratching from the inner wall of funnel.
Chromatography –
Chromatography is a method of separation which works on the principle of travel speed of components of a mixture. This method is used for separating dyes and pigments from a mixture. Ink is the mixture of dyes of different colours.
There are many types of chromatography. The dyes from an ink can be separated using paper chromatography.
For this, a strip of filter paper is dipped in the ink. Particles of dye start rising on filter paper; along with water. Different dyes rise with different speed because of different types of solubility in water and go up to certain heights.
Application of chromatography -
·In the separation of colours from a dyes.
·In the separation of pigments from natural colours.
·In the separation of drugs from blood for pathological tests.
Distillation –
The process of distillation is used to separate two miscible liquids. The technique of distillation is based on the difference in boiling points of components of mixture of miscible liquids. Distillation is to separate the liquids which do not decompose even upto their boiling points and should boil at more than 250C.
In the process of distillation, the mixture is heated after keeping in a retort or distillation flask. The liquid which boils at lower temperature is vaporized at lower temperature. The vapour so obtained is passed through a tube and gets condensed in a separate container; leaving liquid with higher boiling point in the retort or distillation flask.
Distillation is used to separate the components of the mixture of two miscible liquids that boils without decomposition and have sufficient difference in their boiling points.
The process of distillation is used to purify many liquids, such as water.
Fractional Distillation
Fractional distillation is the process of separation of components of mixture into parts or fraction on the basis of fractional differences in their boiling points.
Fractional distillation is done when the difference in boiling points of the components of miscible liquids is less than 250C. In the process of fractional distillation, a fractional column is used along with retort or distillation flask.
Fractional column is a tube which contains glass beads, which facilitate surface for the vapour to cool and condense repeatedly.
Example – Ethanol and water are separated from their mixture using fractional distillation. The boiling point of water is 100⁰C while the boiling point of ethanol is 78.4⁰C. Since the difference of their boiling point is less than 25⁰C, thus they are separated using fractional distillation.
Some of the Applications of Fractional Distillation:
·In petroleum refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants, natural gas processing and cryogenic air separation plants.
·In oil refineries to separate crude oil into useful substances (or fractions).
·In the process of organic juice.
·In the separation of oxygen, liquid nitrogen and argon from air.
Separation of different gases from air –
Air comprises of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and argon as major components. Since air is the cheapest source of these gases, thus these are extracted from air at large scale
After liquefaction of air by repeated compression and cooling; nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and argon are extracted using fractional distillation.
Liquid nitrogen has boiling point equal to - 190⁰C and thus turns into gas first and separated from air.
The boiling point of argon is - 186⁰C, therefore it is extracted after argon.
The boiling point of oxygen is - 183⁰C, thus it is collected after the extraction of argon.
Carbon dioxide turns into solid at a temperature of - 97⁰C, therefore, it is removed while air is put under liquefaction.
Use –
Nitrogen is used as fertilizers, oxygen is used in hospitals and argon is used in bulbs.
Physical and Chemical Changes
Physical Change: The change in which no new substance is formed is called a physical change. During a physical change, chemical properties do not change but physical properties do change.
Chemical Change: The change in which a new substance is formed is called a chemical change. During a chemical change, chemical properties change.
Pure Substances
Elements and Compounds are considered as pure substances.
Elements – Substances that is made of only one element are called elements, such as hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, silver, gold, etc.
Compounds – Substances that is made of one or more elements by chemical combination are called compounds, such as water, carbon dioxide, copper oxide, hydrochloric acid, etc.
A compound does not contain the properties of its constituent elements and shows quite different characteristics.




Magnetic Effect of Electric Current

Properties of magnet:

A free suspended magnet always point towards north and south direction.

The pole of a magnet which points toward north direction is called north pole or north seeking.

The pole of a magnet which points toward south direction is called south pole or south seeking.

Like poles of magnets repel each other while unlike poles of magnets attract each other.


Similar to other effects; electric current also produces magnetic effect. The magnetic effect of electric current is known as electromagnetic effect.

It is observed that when a compass is brought near a current carrying conductor the needle of compass gets deflected because of flow of electricity. This shows that electric current produces a magnetic effect.

Magnetic field and Field Lines

The influence of force surrounding a magnet is called magnetic field. In the magnetic field, the force exerted by a magnet can be detected using a compass or any other magnet.

magnetic field linesFig: Magnetic Field Lines

The imaginary lines of magnetic field around a magnet are called field line or field line of magnet. When iron fillings are allowed to settle around a bar magnet, they get arranged in a pattern which mimicks the magnetic field lines. Field line of a magnet can also be detected using a compass. Magnetic field is a vector quantity, i.e. it has both direction and magnitude.

Direction of Field Line: Outside the magnet, the direction of magnetic field line is taken from north pole to South Pole. Inside the magnet, the direction of magnetic field line is taken from south pole to north pole.

Strength of magnetic field: The closeness of field lines shows the relative strength of magnetic field, i.e. closer lines show stronger magnetic field and vice-versa. Crowded field lines near the poles of magnet show more strength.

Magnetic field Due to a Current Carrying Conductor:

Magnetic field due to current through a straight conductor:

A current carrying straight conductor has magnetic field in the form of concentric circles; around it. Magnetic field of current carrying straight conductor can be shown by magnetic field lines.

The direction of magnetic field through a current carrying conductor depends upon the direction of flow of electric current. The direction of magnetic field gets reversed in case of a change in the direction of electric current.

Let a current carrying conductor be suspended vertically and the electric current is flowing from south to north. In this case, the direction of magnetic field will be anticlockwise. If the current is flowing from north to south, the direction of magnetic field will be clockwise.



Right Hand Thumb Rule:

maxwell's corckscrew rule

The direction of magnetic field; in relation to direction of electric current through a straight conductor can be depicted by using the Right Hand Thumb Rule. It is also known as Maxwell’s Corkscrew Rule.

maxwell's corckscrew rule

If a current carrying conductor is held by right hand; keeping the thumb straight and if the direction of electric current is in the direction of thumb, then the direction of wrapping of other fingers will show the direction of magnetic field.



maxwell's corckscrew rule

As per Maxwell’s corkscrew rule, if the direction of forward movement of screw shows the direction of current, then the direction of rotation of screw shows the direction of magnetic field.

Properties of Magnetic Field:

The magnitude; of magnetic field increases with increase in electric current and decreases with decrease in electric current.

The magnitude of magnetic field; produced by electric current; decreases with increase in distance and vice-versa. The size of concentric circles of magnetic field lines increases with distance from the conductor, which shows that magnetic field decreases with distance.

Magnetic field lines are always parallel to each other.

No two field lines cross each other.



Magnetic field due to current through a circular loop:

maxwell's corckscrew rule

In case of a circular current carrying conductor, the magnetic field is produced in the same manner as it is in case of a straight current carrying conductor.

In case of a circular current carrying conductor, the magnetic field lines would be in the form of concentric circles around every part of the periphery of the conductor. Since, magnetic field lines tend to remain closer when near the conductor, so the magnetic field would be stronger near the periphery of the loop. On the other hand, the magnetic field lines would be distant from each other when we move towards the centre of the current carrying loop. Finally; at the centre, the arcs of big circles would appear as a straight lines.

The direction of magnetic field can be identified using Right Hand Thumb’s Rule. Let us assume that the current is moving in anti-clockwise direction in the loop. In that case, the magnetic field would be in clockwise direction; at the top of the loop. Moreover, it would be in anticlockwise direction at the bottom of the loop.

Clock Face Rule: A current carrying loop works like a disc magnet. The polarity of this magnet can be easily understood with the help of clock face rule. If the current is flowing in anti-clockwise direction, then the face of the loop shows north pole. On the other hand, if the current is flowing in clockwise direction, then the face of the loop shows south pole.

Magnetic field and number of turns of coil: Magnitude of magnetic field gets summed up with increase in the number of turns of coil. If there are ‘n’ turns of coil, magnitude of magnetic field will be ‘n’ times of magnetic field in case of a single turn of coil.

Magnetic Field due to a current in a Solenoid:

Solenoid is the coil with many circular turns of insulated copper wire wrapped closely in the shape of cylinder.

A current carrying solenoid produces similar pattern of magnetic field as a bar magnet. One end of solenoid behaves as the north pole and another end behaves as the south pole. Magnetic field lines are parallel inside the solenoid; similar to a bar magnet; which shows that magnetic field is same at all points inside the solenoid.

By producing a strong magnetic field inside the solenoid, magnetic materials can be magnetized. Magnet formed by producing magnetic field inside a solenoid is called electromagnet.

Magnetic Effect of Electric Current

Force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field:

A current carrying conductor exerts a force when a magnet is placed in its vicinity. Similarly, a magnet also exerts equal and opposite force on the current carrying conductor. This was suggested by Marie Ampere, a French Physicist and considered as founder of science of electromagnetism.

The direction of force over the conductor gets reversed with the change in direction of flow of electric current. It is observed that the magnitude of force is highest when the direction of current is at right angles to the magnetic field.


Fleming’s Left Hand Rule:

If direction of electric current is perpendicular to the magnetic field, the direction of force is also perpendicular to both of them. The Fleming’s Left Hand Rule states that if the left hand is stretched in a way that the index finger, the middle finger and the thumb are in mutually perpendicular directions; then the index finger and middle finger of a stretched left hand show the direction of magnetic field and direction of electric current respectively and the thumb shows the direction of motion or force acting on the conductor. The directions of electric current, magnetic field and force are similar to three mutually perpendicular axes, i.e. x, y and z axes.

Many devices, such as electric motor, electric generator, loudspeaker, etc. works on the Fleming’s left Hand Rule.



 

Electric Motor:

electric motor

Electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy by using an electric motor. Electric motor works on the basis of rule suggested by Marie Ampere and Fleming’s Left Hand Rule.

In an electric motor, a rectangular coil is suspended between the two poles of a magnetic field. The electric supply to the coil is connected with a commutator. Commutator is a device which reverses the direction of flow of electric current through a circuit.

When electric current is supplied to the coil of electric motor, it gets deflected because of magnetic field. As it reaches the half way, the split ring which acts as commutator reverses the direction of flow of electric current. Reversal of direction of current reverses the direction of forces acting on the coil. The change in direction of force pushes the coil; and it moves another half turn. Thus, the coil completes one rotation around the axle. Continuation of this process keeps the motor in rotation.

In commercial motor, electromagnet; instead of permanent magnet; and armature is used. Armature is a soft iron core with large number of conducting wire turns over it. Large number of turns of conducting wire enhances the magnetic field produced by armature.



Electromagnetic Induction

Michael Faraday, an English Physicist is supposed to have studied the generation of electric current using magnetic field and a conductor.

When a conductor is set to move inside a magnetic field or a magnetic field is set to be changing around a conductor, electric current is induced in the conductor. This is just opposite to the exertion of force by a current carrying conductor inside a magnetic field. In other words, when a conductor is brought in relative motion vis-à-vis a magnetic field, a potential difference is induced in it. This is known as electromagnetic induction.

Electromagnetic induction can be explained with the help of Fleming’s Right Hand Rule. If the right hand is stretched in a way that the index finger, middle finger and thumb are in mutually perpendicular directions, then the thumb shows the direction of movement of the conductor, index finger shows the direction of magnetic field and the middle finger shows the direction of induced current in the conductor. The directions of movement of conductor, magnetic field and induced current can be compared to three mutually perpendicular axes, i.e. x, y and z axes.

The mutually perpendicular directions also point to an important fact that the when the magnetic field and movement of conductor are perpendicular, the magnitude of induced current would be maximum.

Electromagnetic induction is used in the conversion of kinetic energy into electrical energy.



Electric generator:

electric generator

The structure of electric generator is similar to that of an electric motor. In case of an electric generator a rectangular armature is placed within the magnetic field of a permanent magnet. The armature is attached to wire and is positioned in way that it can move around an axle. When the armature moves within the magnetic field an electric current is induced. The direction of induced current changes, when the armature crosses the halfway mark of its rotation. Thus, the direction of current changes once in every rotation. Due to this, the electric generator usually produces alternate current, i.e. AC. To convert an AC generator into a DC generator, a split ring commutator is used. This helps in producing direct current.

AC and DC current:

AC – Alternate current: Current in which direction is changed periodically is called Alternate Current. In India, most of the power stations generate alternate current. The direction of current changes after every 1/100 second in India, i.e. the frequency of AC in India is 50 Hz. AC is transmitted upto a long distance without much loss of energy is advantage of AC over DC

DC – Direct current: Current that flows in one direction only is called Direct current. Electrochemical cells produce direct current.

(b) Aim: To establish the relationship between potential difference across the resistor and
current passing through it.
Apparatus required: Nichrome or eureka wire (length 0.5 m) , an ammeter, a voltmeter
and four cells if 1.5 V each.
Procedure:
(i) Set the circuit as shown in the figure.

difference, i.e. more cells being connected in series. We will get approximately the same
value for

Atoms and Molecules
Laws of Chemical Combinations
Before Dalton concept of atom was mere philosophical. Dalton explained about atom on the basis of Laws of Chemical Combinations.
There are three laws of chemical combination.
  1. Law of Conservation of Mass
  2. Law of Constant Proportions
  3. Law of Multiple Proportions
Law of Conservation of Mass
Antoine L. Lavoisier, a French scientist, established the theory of Law of Conservation of Mass.
The law of conservation of mass states, “Mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction”.
According to this law mass of an isolated system will remain constant over time. This means when mass is enclosed in a system and none is allowed in or out, its quantity will never change. That is mass will be conserved, and hence this is called Law of Conservation of Mass. This means total mass of products is always equal to the total mass of reactants. As there is no loss of mass of substances, i.e. mass is conserved, that’s why Lavoisier called this the law of conservation of mass.
Reactants and Products:
In a chemical reaction the substances that combine or react are known as reactants and the new substance/substances formed are called product or products.
A chemical reaction can be represented in general as follows:
Atoms and molecules 1
Example:
When calcium oxide is dissolved in water calcium hydroxide is formed. The reaction invole in this can be written as:
Atoms and molecules 2
In this reaction calcium oxide and water are reactants while calcium hydroxide is product.
In this reaction 74 g of calcium hydroxide is obtained when 56 g of calcium oxide reacts with 18 g of water, which is proved by experiment.
Atoms and molecules 3
Here the total mass of reactants, i.e. calcium oxide and water is equal to 74 g. And the mass of product, i.e. calcium hydroxide is also equal to 74g. This proves that the total mass of reactants is always equal to the total mass of product, which proves the Law of Conservation of Mass.
Law of Constant Proportions
Law of Constant Proportion states that a chemical compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass.
This law is also known as Law of definite proportions. Joseph Louis Proust gave this law hence, this law is also known as Proust’s Law.
Explanation of the law:-
Compounds are formed by the combination of two or more elements. In a compound the ratio of the atoms or element by mass remains always same irrespective of the source of compound. This means a certain compound always formed by the combination of atoms in same ratio by mass. If the ratio of mass of constituent atoms will be altered the new compound is formed.
Examples:-
Water is formed by the combination of hydrogen and oxygen. The ratio of masses of hydrogen and oxygen is always in 1:8 in water irrespective of source of water. Whether you collect the water from a well, river, pond or from anywhere the ratio of their constituent atoms by mass will always same.
Nitrogen dioxide is a compound, which is formed by the combination of nitrogen and oxygen. The ratio of nitrogen and oxygen by mass in nitrogen dioxide is in 7:16.
Nitrous oxide is a compound which is also formed by the combination of nitrogen and oxygen. The ratio of nitrogen and oxygen in nitrous oxide is in 28:16.
Nitric oxide is a compound, which is also formed by the combination of nitrogen and oxygen. The ratio of nitrogen and oxygen in nitric oxide is in 7:8.
From the above three examples it is clear that if the ratio of the atoms by mass is altered then the new compound is formed, such as in the case of nitrogen dioxide, nitrous oxide, nitric oxide. These three compounds are formed by the combination of same atoms but because of combination of the constituent atoms in different ratios by mass new compound is formed.
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
John Dalton, a British Chemists and scientists gave the Atomic Theory in 1808. This theory is popularly known as Dalton’s Atomic Theory in the honour of John Dalton. He gave the theory on the basis of Laws of Chemical Combination and explains them properly. In his theory he explains about atom.
Main postulates of Dalton's atomic theory
  1. Elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms.
  2. Atoms of a given element are identical in size, mass, and other properties;
  3. Atoms of different elements differ in size, mass, and other properties.
  4. Atoms cannot be subdivided, created, or destroyed.
  5. Atoms of different elements combine in simple whole-number ratios to form chemical compounds.
  6. In chemical reactions, atoms are combined, separated, or rearranged.

Atoms:
 On the basis of Dalton’s Atomic  On the basis of Dalton’s Atomic Theory atom can be defined as the smallest particles of matter are called atoms.
Other characteristics of atoms:
  • Atom is the smallest particle of matter.
  • AAll elements are made of tiny particles called atom.
  • Atoms are very small in size and cannot be seen through naked eyes.
  • Atom does not exist in free-state in nature. But atom takes part in a chemical reaction.
  • The properties of a matter depend upon the characteristics of atoms.
  • Atoms are the building block of an element similar to a brick which combine together to make a building.
  • The size of atoms is indicated by its radius.
  • In ancient time atoms was considered indivisible.
Symbols of Atoms of Elements
For convenience elements are represented by unique symbols. For example: Hydrogen is represented by ‘H’. Oxygen is represented ‘O’. Nitrogen is represented by ‘N’. Iron is represented by ‘Fe’. ments are represented by unique symbols. For example: Hydrogen is represented by ‘H’. Oxygen is represented ‘O’. Nitrogen is represented by ‘N’. Iron is represented by ‘Fe’.
His worked proved as boon to science. For his marvelous work Berzilius, together with John Dalton, Antoine Lavoisier, and Robert Boyle is considered as the Father of Modern Chemistry.
Atoms and molecules 4
Symbol of many elements are taken from their English name, while symbol of many elements are taken from their Greek or Latin names.
Symbol of some element which are derived from their Latin name
Atoms and molecules 5
Several elements are named after the place where they discovered, such as ‘Copper’ which was taken from Cyprus. Some elements are named after their colour, such as ‘Gold’ which means yellow.

Atomic Mass
Mass of atom is called atomic mass. Since, atoms are very small consequently actual mass of an atom is very small. For example the actual mass of one atom of hydrogen is equal to 1.673 x 10-24 g. This is equal to 0.000000000000000000000001673 gram. To deal with such small nuber is very difficult. Thus for convenience relative atomic mass is used.
Carbon-12 is considered as unit to calculate atomic mass. Carbon-12 is an isotope of carbon. The relative mass of all atoms are found with respect to C-12.
One atomic mass = 1/12 of the mass of one atom of C-12.
Atoms and molecules 6
Thus atomic mass is the relative atomic mass of an atom with respect to 1/12th of the mass of carbon-12 atom. ‘amu’ is the abbreviation of Atomic mass unit, but now it is denoted just by ‘u’.
The atomic mass of hydrogen atom = 1u.
This means one hydrogen atom is 1 times heavier than 1/12th of the carbon atom.
The atomic mass of oxygen is 16u, this means one atom of oxygen is 16 times heavier than 1/12th of carbon atom.
Atoms and molecules 7
Absolute mass or Actual atomic mass:
It is found that, the actual atomic mass of a carbon-12 atom is equal to 1.9926 X 10-23g.

Thus by multiplying the relative atomic mass with 1.6605 × 10-24 g we can get the absolute or actual mass of an atom.

Existence of Atoms
Atoms of most of the elements exist in the form of molecule or ion, since they are most reactive. For example, hydrogen, oxygen, chlorine, etc. However, atoms of some elements, which are non-reactive, exist in free-state in nature. For example helium, neon, argon, etc.
Usually atoms are exist in following two forms -
• In the form of molecules
• In the form of ions
Molecule:-
Molecule is the smallest particle of a compound.
Atoms exist in free states in the form of molecule.
  • A molecule may be formed by the combination of two or more similar atoms of an element, such asoxygen molecule is formed by the combination of two oxygen atoms, molecule of hydrogen which is formed by the combination of two hydrogen atoms.
  • Molecules may be formed by the combination of atoms of two or more different elements. For example molecule of water. It is formed by the combination of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. Molecule of Nitric oxide or nitrogen monoxide. It is formed by the combination of one nitrogen atom and one oxygen atom.
  • A molecule tA molecule takes part in chemical reaction.
Most of the atoms exist in the form of molecule. Molecules are formed by the combination of two or more elements.
Example: Molecule of hydrogen (H2), Molecule of oxygen (O2), Molecule of nitrogen (N2), etc.
• Molecules of elements
• Molecules of Compounds
Molecules of elements: When two of more atoms of same element combine to form a molecule these are called molecules of element.
Example:

Sulphur molecule (S8). Molecule of sulphur is formed by the combination of eight sulphur atoms.
Phosphoroud molecule (P4). Molecule of phosphorous is formed by the combination of four phosphorous atoms.
Molecules of some non-reactive elements are formed by single atom. For example – helium, neon, argon, etc. molecules: Molecules of metals formed as big cluster of atoms. They are represented by their symbols simply. For example: Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), etc. These molecules are known as giant molecules.
Carbon is a non-metal, but it also exists as giant molecule and represented by its symbol ‘C’.
