Chapter: Atoms and Molecules (Important Definitions)

CBSE Class 9 - Chemistry

1. Law of Conservation of Mass: 

Mass can neither be created nor can it be destroyed in a chemical reaction. In a chemical reaction,

   Total mass of reactants = Total mass of products

2. Law of Constant Proportions: 

In a pure substance same elements are always present in a definite proportion by weight.

3. Atom: 

Smallest unit of an element, which may or may not exist independently, but always takes part in a chemical reaction.

Class 9 - Chemistry - Atoms and Molecules - Atomicity of Elements (Worksheet)

Molecules of an element are formed by the atoms of the same type. Molecules of some elements contain only one atom and molecules of some elements contain two or more atoms. The number of atoms constituting a molecule is known as its atomicity.

What is Kinetic Theory of Matter? 

The Kinetic Theory of Matter states that matter is composed of a large number of small particles —individual atoms or molecules — that are in constant motion. This theory is also called the Kinetic-Molecular Theory of Matter and the Kinetic Theory of Gases.


The main postulates of kinetic Theory of matter are following:

CBSE Class 9 - Chemistry
 - Structure Of Atom
(Worksheet)

An atom is the smallest indivisible unit of an element.. Modern chemistry began with eighteenth-century discoveries leading to the formulation of two basic laws of chemical combination, the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition (definite proportions). Later it led to the development of various atomic models and discoveries of sub-atomic particles. Here is a worksheet based on NCERT Chapter 4 to assess your knowledge about structure of atoms.

Chemistry - Matter in Surroundings

Short Questions Answers

Q1: Define matter.

Answer: Anything that has mass and occupies space is called matter.

Q2: Write your observation and conclusion for the following:
(a) When few marbles are put in a glass half filled with water.
(b) Ice is kept at room temperature.

Answer:
(a) Take some marbles and put them into the water of glass tumbler one by one. After some time you will notice that the water level crosses the mark and rises. This is because the marbles occupy space. Again weigh the glass with the marbles. You will find that the second mass is greater than the first one. This proves that marbles have mass.
