CBSE Class 9 Science Notes Chapter 3 Atoms and NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths
Molecule
It is the smallest particle of an element or a compound which can exist independently.
Atomicity
The number of atoms constituting a Molecule is known as its atomicity.
Ions
The charged particles (atoms) are called ions, they are formed by attaining positive charge or negative
charge on it.
Negatively charged ion is called anion (Cl–).
NCERT SOLUTIONS RD SHARMA
Positively charged ion is called cation (Na+).

Valency
The combining capacity of an element is known as its valency. Valency is used to find out how the atom of
an element will combine with the atom of another element to form a chemical compound.
(Every atom wants to become stable, to do so it may lose, gain or share electrons.)
If an atom consists of 1, 2 or 3 electrons in its valence shell then its valency is 1, 2 or 3 respectively,
If an atom consists of 5, 6 or 7 electrons in the outermost shell, then it will gain 3, 2 or 1 electron
respectively and its valency will be 3, 2 or 1 respectively.
If an atom has 4 electrons in the outermost shell than it will share this electron and hence its valency
will be 4.
If an atom has 8 electrons in the outermost electron and hence its valency will be 0.
Some elements show more than one valency,hence termed as variable valency.
Chemical Formulae
Rules: (i) The valencies or charges on the ion must balance.
(ii) Metal and non-metal compound should show the name or symbol of the
metal first.
e.g., Na+ Cl– → NaCl
(ii) If a compound consists of polyatomic ions. The ion is enclosed in a bracket before writing the number to

indicate the ratio.

e.g., [SO4]2- → polyatomic radical

Molecular Mass
It is the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule of the substance. It is expressed in atomic
mass unit (u).
Mole Concept
Definition of mole: It is defined as one mole of any species (atoms, molecules, ions or particles) is that
quantity in number having a mass equal to its atomic or molecular mass in grams.
1 mole = 6.022 x 1023 in number
Molar mass = mass of 1 mole → is always expressed in grams and is also known as gram atomic mass.
lu of hydrogen has → 1 atom of hydrogen 1g of hydrogen has → 1 mole of hydrogen
= 6.022 x 1023 atoms of hydrogen
