Current NCERT chapter

Academic session 2026-27, Chapter 2 in the current curriculum.

Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chemistry - Chapter Structure of Atom. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 1, Question 1:

(i) Calculate the number of electrons which will together weigh one gram.
(ii) Calculate the mass and charge of one mole of electrons.

. With detailed answers and explanations for each chapter, students can strengthen their understanding and prepare confidently for exams. Ideal for CBSE and other board students, this resource will simplify your study experience.

Question 1:

(i) Calculate the number of electrons which will together weigh one gram.
(ii) Calculate the mass and charge of one mole of electrons.

Answer:

(i) Mass of an electron = 9.1 x 10-28 g

Or

9.1 x 10-28 g contains = 1 electron

Therefore 1g contains = 1/9.1 x 10-28 *1 = 1.098 x 1027 electrons

 

(ii) We know, one mole of electron = 6.022 x 1023 electron

Mass of one electron = 9.1 × 10–28 g

Or

mass of 6.022 x 1023 electron = 9.1 x 10-28 x 6.022 x 1023 = 5.48 x 10-4 g

Charge on one electron = 1.6 × 10–19 coulomb

Charge on one mole of electron = (1.6 × 10–19 C x 6.022 × 1023)

= 9.63 × 104 C

Mr/Mrs cha,it's not necessary to take the mass of electron in kg only. We know that the mass of electron is 9.1*10^-28g or 9.1*10^-31kg so the solved question is right
