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).

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September?

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September? After independence, the Government of India set a goal to give an ideal form to the mother tongue of the country and set a target for grammar and orthography using the Devanagari script to bring standardization in writing. Subsequently, on September 14, 1949, the Constituent Assembly decided by a vote that Hindi would be the official language of India. To propagate the importance of this decision and to spread Hindi in every region, India is celebrating Hindi Day every year from 1953 to 14 September, at the request of Rashtrabhasha Prachar Samiti, Wardha. Apart from this, 14 September is also the birthday of Rajendra Singh, who worked tirelessly to make Hindi the official language of India. Hindi Day is observed every year on 14 September to mark the importance of the Hindi language in the country. The Hindi language is one of the oldest languages, which derives most of its academic vocabulary from the Sanskrit language written in the Deva

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
