Divisibility of Matter
- Ancient Indian and Greek Philosophers questioned the divisibility of matter.
- The concept of Parmanu (atom) was proposed in ancient India as the smallest indivisible particle of matter.
- Pakudha Katyayama proposed the existence of Parmanu in the 6th century BCE.
- Maharishi Kanad elaborated the doctrine of Parmanu in the 6th century BCE.
- Kanad believed that all matter is composed of Parmanu, which can exist individually or in combination.
The Significance of Parmanu
- Parmanu signifies the fundamental building block of all matter.
- Modern Atomic Theory was influenced by ancient Indian concepts like Parmanu.
Parmanu in Modern Science
- Atoms are now known to be divisible into subatomic particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons.
- The concept of Parmanu highlights the ancient Indian understanding of the fundamental nature of matter.
Molar Mass Calculations
- H2O (Water): 18 g/mol (1.01 g/mol x 2 + 16.00 g/mol)
- CO2 (Carbon Dioxide): 44.01 g/mol (12.01 g/mol + 16.00 g/mol x 2)
- CH (Methane): 16.04 g/mol (12.01 g/mol + 1.01 g/mol x 4)
Building Blocks of Matter
- Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of all matter, no matter how large or small.
- Bricks are the building blocks of a huge building.
- Sand and Soil are the building blocks of an anthill.
