A Matter
7. An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can participate in a chemical reaction.
10. Diffusion occurs when particles of a substance move in between the particles of another subtance.
11. Diffusion of matter occurs most rapidly in gases, slower in liquids and slowest in solids, due to the
different arrangement and movement of particles in the three states of matter.

Definition of mole
12
In chemistry, we use the unit mole to measure the amount of substance. The symbol of mole is mol.
1 mol of substance = the number of particles in 12 g of carbon-12.
= 6.02 x 1023 particles.
Example 2:
A closed glass bottle contains 0.5 mol of oxygen gas, O 2.
i. How many oxygen molecules, O2 are there in the bottle?
ii. How many oxygen atoms are there in the bottle?
Solution:
i. Number of oxygen molecules = 0.5 x 6.02 x 1023
= 3.01 x 1023

A mole is the amount of substance which has the same number of particles as there in 12 g carbon -12.
3 How many ions are there in 1.5 mol sodium chloride, NaCl?
1 formula unit sodium chloride, NaCl has 2 ions which are 1 sodium ion and 1 chloride ion.
Thus, number of ions = number of formula units x 2
= 1.5 6.02 x 1023 2
= 1.806 1024 ions.
4 Calculate the number of moles of bromine molecules which consists 1.5 10 22 of bromine molecules.
1 ammonia molecule, NH3 has 4 atoms which are 1 nitrogen atom and 3 hydrogen atoms.
Thus, number of atoms = number of molecules x 4
= 2 6.02 x 1023 4
= 4.8 1024 atoms.

Arranged 62 known elements in order of increasing nucleon
number (atomic weights ) in horizontal rows.
He noted that after interval of eight elements similar
physical/chemical properties reappeared.
He was the first to formulate the concept of periodicity in the
properties of the chemical elements.
He proposed the Law of Octaves:
Dimitri Mendeleev
31
Henry Mosely
He was able to derive the relationship between x-ray frequency and number of protons. and
obtained a straight line graph.
When Moseley arranged the elements according to increasing atomic numbers and not atomic
masses, some of the inconsistencies associated with Mendeleev's table were eliminated.
The modern periodic table is based on Moseley's Periodic Law (atomic numbers/proton number).
He suggest proton number determine the position of elements in periodic table.
He arranged elements in periodic table in order of increasing proton number.
He also left gaps for the elements yet to be discovered.

Henry Mosely Periodic Table
Elements in the Periodic Table are arranged in an increasing order of proton number.

Elements with similar chemical properties are placed in the same vertical column.
There are 18 vertical column of elements in the Periodic Table. Each column is called group. The
vertical columns are known as Group 1 to Group 18.
There are 7 horizontal rows of elements in the Periodic Table. Each of these horizontal rows of
elements is called a period. The horizontal rows are known as Period 1 to Period 7.
