The mass of an electron is about 1/ 2000 times
the mass of an hydrogen atom.
A electron  is represented as 'e-'
Protons are Positively charged particles.
Protons are present in the nucleus of all atoms
Number of protons determines the atomic number of an element
The mass of a proton is taken as one unit and equals to neutron.
A proton is represented as 'p+'
Neutrons do not carry any charge and are neutral.
Neutrons are present in the nucleus of all atoms, except hydrogen
The mass of a neutron is taken as one unit and equals to that of proton.

CBSE Class IX ( 9th) Science | Chapter 3. Atoms And Molecules | Lesson Exercises

Question 1. A 0.24 g sample of compound of oxygen and boron was found by analysis to contain 0.096 g of boron and 0.144 g of oxygen. Calculate the percentage composition of the compound by weight.

Answer :
Mass of boron as given = 0.096 g
Mass of oxygen as given  = 0.144 g
Mass of sample as given   = 0.24 g
  Percentage of boron by weight in the compound = (0.096 ÷ 0.24 )  x 100 = 40%
  Percentage of oxygen by weight in the compound = (0.144 ÷ 0.24)  x 100 = 60%

CBSE Class IX (9th) Science | Chapter 1. MATTER IN OUR SURROUNDINGS | Lesson Exercises

Question 1. Convert the following temperatures to the celsius scale.
(a) 293 K (b) 470 K.

Answer : As we know 0° C =273.16 K. For convenience, we take 0° C = 273 K after rounding off the decimal.
 To change a temperature on the Kelvin scale to the Celsius scale we have to subtract 273 from the given temperature

(a) 293 K =  293-273  = 20° C
(b) 470 K = 470-273   = 197° C


Question2. Convert the following temperatures to the Kelvin scale.
(a) 25°C (b) 373°C.
