What is meant by atomicity ? Explain with two examples.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Atomicity refers to the total number of atoms present in one molecule of an element.
For example, argon is a noble gas and exists in a free state. One molecule of argon comprises only one atom. Therefore, the atomicity of argon is one.
Similarly, a molecule of chlorine gas has two atoms and it exists as a Cl2 molecule. Therefore, the atomicity of chlorine is two.

What is the difference between the molecule of an element and the molecule of a compound ? Give one
example of each.
One of the forms of a naturally occurring solid compound P is usually used for making the floors of houses. On adding a few drops of dilute hydrochloric acid to P, brisk effervescence are produced. When 50 g of reactant P was heated strongly, than 22 g of a gas Q and 28 g of a solid R were produced as products. Gas Q is the same which produced brisk effervescence on adding dilute HCl to P. Gas Q is said to cause global warming whereas solid R is used for white-washing.

- What is the total mass of Q and R obtained from 50 g of P ?
- How does the total mass of Q and R formed compare with the mass of P taken ?
