Question 2:
Which of the following statements is not true about an atom?
(a)Atoms are not able to exist independently
(b)Atoms are the basic units from which molecules and ions are formed
(c)Atoms are always neutral in nature
(d) Atoms aggregate in large numbers to form the matter that we can see, feel or touch
Answer:
(d) This statement is not true
The correct statement is as The molecules and ions aggregate together in large number to form the matter. We cannot see the individual molecules/ions with our eyes, only we can see the various substances which are a big collection of molecules/ions. So, option (d) is incorrect.
Atoms of most of the elements are chemically very reactive and do not exist in the free state. The atoms of only noble gases are chemically unreactive and exist in free state. Atoms usually exist in the two forms
(i) molecules and (ii) ions
Therefore, atoms are the basic unit from which molecules and ions are formed.
When atoms form molecules or ions, they become stable because they acquire the stable noble gas electron arrangement. Therefore, they are neutral in nature.

Question 3:
The chemical symbol for nitrogen gas is
(a) Ni                                    (b) N2                          (c)N+                         (d) N
Answer:
(b) Nitrogen molecule is diatomic molecule, therefore, it exists as N2 molecules.

Question 4:
The chemical symbol for sodium is
(a) So                (b) Sd                (c) NA                  (d) Na
Answer:
(d) The chemical symbol for sodium is derived from its Latin name ‘Natrium’. In a ‘two letter’ symbol, the first letter is the ‘capital letter’ but the second letter is the ‘small letter’. Therefore, its symbol is ‘Na’.

Question 5:
Which of the following would weigh the highest?
(a) 0.2 mole of sucrose (C12 H22 O,,)                           (b) 2 moles of C02
(c) 2 moles of CaC03                                                        (d) 10 moles of H20
Answer:
(c) 2 moles of CaC03 would weigh the highest.
(a)Mass of 1 mole of sucrose (12 x12) + (1 x22)+ (16×11)= 342 g
Mass of 0.2 mole of sucrose = 342 x 0.2 = 68.4g
(b)Mass of 1 mole of C02 = 12 + (16 x 2) = 44g .-. Mass of 2 moles of C02 = 44 x 2 = 88 g
(c)Mass of 1 mole of CaC03 = 40 + 12 + (16 x 3) = 10Og
Mass of 2 moles of CaC03 = 100 x 2 = 200 g
(d)Mass of 1 mole of H20 = 2 + 16 = 18g
Mass of 10 moles of H20 = 18x 10 = 180g
Therefore, mass of 2 moles of CaC03 is the highest, i.e., 200 g.

Question 6:
Which of the following has maximum number of atoms?
(a) 18 g of H20                                                  (b) 18 g of 02

NCERT Exemplar Problems Class 9 Science - Atoms and Molecules Img 6

Question 10:
A change in the physical state can be brought about
(a) only when energy is given to the system
(b) only when energy is taken out from the system
(c) when energy is either given to, or taken out from the system
(d) without any energy change
Answer:
(c)
A change in the physical state can be brought about when energy is either given to, or taken out from the system. It is because, energy change helps in changing the magnitude of attraction forces between the particles, thus helps in changing the physical states (j.e., solid, liquid, gas) of matter.

What is the fraction of the mass of water due to neutrons?
Answer:
In water molecule (H20), number of neutrons = [(number of neutrons in H) x 2 + (number of neutrons in O)]
= 0x2 + 8=8 (as number of neutrons in H =0)
Mass of 8 neutrons = 8 x 1.00893 = 8.07                        (v mass of one neutron = 1.008934)
Molar mass of water = 1.008 x 2 + 16.0 = 18.016 u

Question 20:
Does the solubility of a substance change with temperature? Explain with the help of an example
Answer:
Yes, the solubility of a substance changes with temperature.
The maximum amount of a solute which can be dissolved in 100 g of a solvent at a specified temperature is called its solubility.
Effect of temperature on solubility
(i) The solubility of solids in liquids usually increases on increasing the temperature and decreases on decreasing the temperature.
(ii) The solubility of gases in liquids usually decreases on increasing the temperature and increases on decreasing the temperature.
Let us take an example of copper sulphate.
The solubilities of copper sulphate in water at various temperatures are given below
NCERT Exemplar Problems Class 9 Science - Atoms and Molecules Img 15
From the above data, it is clear that, when the temperature is increased from 0°C to 70°C, the solubility of copper sulphate in water increases from 14 g to 47g. The above data shows that the solubility of a salt increases on increasing the temperature.

Question 21:

(a) F2                               (b) N02                            (c) N20                 (d) C2H6
(e) P4                                (f) H202                          (g) P4010               (h) 03
(i) HCl                              (j) CH4                             (k) He                    (l) Ag
Answer:
They are classified as
Monoatomic (k) He, (1) Ag
Diatomic (a) F2, (i) HCl
Polyatomic (b) N02, (c) N20, (d) C2H6, (e) P4, (f) H202, (g) P4O10, (h) 03, (j) CH4.

Question 22:
You are provided with a fine white coloured powder which is either sugar or salt. How would you identify it without testing?
Answer:
There are many ways by which we can differentiate between sugar and salt without testing
(i)   Dissolve salt and sugar separately in alcohol, sugar will be dissolved in it while salt will not be
dissolved.
(ii)  Heat these salts separately, sugar will melt readily while salt will not.
(iii) Dissolve these two separately in water. Salt solution will conduct electricity due to the presence of Na+ion and CF ion while sugar solution will be a non-conductor. So, simply test a drop of the solution with an ohmmeter and you can immediately tell the difference.

Question 31:
Raunak took 5 moles of carbon atoms in a container and Krish also took 5 moles of sodium atoms in another container of same weight.
(a) Whose container is heavier?
(b) Whose container has more number of atoms?
Answer:
(a) 1 mole = molar mass of a substance.
∴ 1 mole of carbon atoms weigh = 12g
∴5 moles of carbon atoms will weigh = 12 x 5 = 60 g
Hence, Raunak’s container has weigh = 60 g In the same way,
∴ 1 mole of sodium atoms weigh =23g
∴ 5 moles of sodium atoms will weigh = 23 x 5 = 115 g
Hence, Krish’s container has weigh = 115 g
Thus, Krish’s container is heavier than Raunak’s container.
As,  1 mole = 6.022 x 1023 atoms
(b)Here, both containers have 5 moles of each carbon and sodium, therefore, both containers have equal number of atoms, e., 5 x 6.022 x 1023 atoms,
or 3.011 x 1024 atoms in each.

Question 40:
What are ionic and molecular compounds? Give examples.
Answer:
Ionic compounds are those compounds which are made up of ions. In ionic compounds, the positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions) are held together by the strong electrostatic forces of attraction, which are known as ionic bonds or electrovalent bonds, e.g., sodium chloride (NaCI), calcium oxide (CaO), etc.
Molecular compounds are those compounds in which the atoms of the elements share electrons via covalent bonds . Thus, in these compounds, covalent bonds are present, e.g., methane (CH4), water (H20) etc.

Question 41:
Compute the difference in masses of one mole each of aluminium atoms and one mole of its ions (Mass of an electron is 9.1 x 10-28 g). Which one is heavier?
Answer:
Ionisation of Al atom occurs as                 Al —> Al3+ + 3e“
Therefore, Al3+ ion is formed from Al atom by loss of 3 electrons. Difference in mass of 1 mole of Al atoms and 1 mole of Al3+ ions
= mass of 3 x 6.022 x 1023 electrons
= (3 x 6.022 x 1023) x (9.1 x 10-28 g)
(as mass of an electron = 9.1 x 10-28 g)
= 164.4×10-5g = 1.644×10-3g
1 mole of Al atoms is heavier than 1 mole of Al3+ ions.
It is because 1 mole of Al atom have e– = 13 x 6.022 x 1023 electrons and 1 mole of Al ion have e“ = 10 x 6.022 x 1023 electrons
