CBSE 11th Science Chemistry Dalton’s Atomic Theory

CBSE 11th Science Chemistry Dalton’s Atomic Theory

Here, we will discuss Dalton’s Atomic Theory, its merits, and demerits. The following topic is for a better understanding of CBSE Class 11 students (Chemistry, unit 1).
DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY
John Dalton (1766-1844), a British school teacher, introduced the concept of atoms. In 1808, he presented his atomic theory based on experiments and laws of chemical combination. The postulates of Dalton’s atomic theory are:
  1. All matter consists of tiny indivisible particles called The atoms cannot be created or destroyed.
  2. Atoms of the same element are similar in shape and mass but differ from the atoms of other elements.
  3. The atom is the smallest unit of matter that can take part in a chemical reaction.
  4. Atoms of one element cannot be converted into atoms of another element, rather during a chemical reaction;the atoms of the original matter recombine to form different substances.
  5. Compounds are formed from the chemical combination of atoms of different elements in specific ratios.
  6. Atoms of thesame element can combine in more than one ratio to form two or more compounds.
 Merits of Dalton’s Atomic Theory
The theory is in accordance with the laws of chemical combination. His postulate 1 and 4 explain the law of mass conservation. Postulate 5 supports the law of definite proportion.The law of multiple proportions is supported by postulate 6.
Dalton was the first person to find out the distinction between the fundamental particle of an element (atom) and that of the compound (molecule).

Lessons-Worksheets-Question Papers-CBSE Class 2 English CBSE 2nd Class English – One and Many  In this blog, we share the spelling rules used in the concept of  One  and Many. When there is only one of a naming word (noun), it is said to be a  singular noun . When a noun shows more than one, it is said to be in the  plural . We can add  –S, -es, -ves or ies  to show that there is more than one noun.  For example,  we say many birds, four biscuits, six brushes. But for the students of  Class 2 , it’s very difficult and confusing to understand where to use  s , es, ves or ies  in the form of many. Don’t worry, it looks difficult, but it is very easy as in grammar each concept has a set of rules that need to practice. Noun ending with  –s, -x, -o, -sh, -ch, and –ss  form plurals by taking  –es. Look at these pairs of words: Bus – Buses Brush – Brushes Continue ..... Click here ...

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...
