Class 9 Science Complete Notes
1. Matter in Our Surroundings
Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
Characteristics of Particles of Matter
Particles have space between them.
Particles are continuously moving (kinetic energy).
Particles attract each other.
States of Matter
There are three main states:
1. Solid
Fixed shape and volume
Strong intermolecular force
Example: iron, wood
2. Liquid
Fixed volume but no fixed shape
Flow easily
Example: water, milk
3. Gas
No fixed shape or volume
Very weak force of attraction
Example: oxygen, air
Change of State
Change of state occurs due to temperature or pressure change.
Melting – solid → liquid
Freezing – liquid → solid
Vaporization – liquid → gas
Condensation – gas → liquid
Sublimation – solid → gas directly (example: camphor)
Latent Heat
Heat required to change the state of matter without changing temperature.
2. Is Matter Around Us Pure
Substances are divided into pure substances and mixtures.
Pure Substance
Made of only one type of particle.
Examples:
Elements (Iron, Copper)
Compounds (Water, Salt)
Mixture
Combination of two or more substances.
Types:
1. Homogeneous mixture
Uniform composition
Example: salt water
2. Heterogeneous mixture
Non-uniform composition
Example: sand in water
Methods of Separation
Filtration
Evaporation
Distillation
Chromatography
Centrifugation
Types of Solutions
Solution
Homogeneous mixture
Suspension
Particles visible and settle down
Colloid
Intermediate mixture
Example: milk
3. Atoms and Molecules
Laws of Chemical Combination
Law of Conservation of Mass Mass cannot be created or destroyed.
Law of Constant Proportion Elements combine in fixed ratio.
Atom
Smallest particle of an element.
Example:
Hydrogen atom
Oxygen atom
Molecule
Group of atoms bonded together.
Example:
O₂
H₂O
Atomicity
Number of atoms in a molecule.
Examples:
Monoatomic – He
Diatomic – O₂
Triatomic – O₃
Chemical Formula
Representation of compound using symbols.
Example:
Water = H₂O
Carbon dioxide = CO₂
Mole Concept
1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ particles.
4. Structure of the Atom
Atoms contain subatomic particles.
1. Electron
Discovered by J. J. Thomson
Negative charge
2. Proton
Discovered by Ernest Rutherford
Positive charge
3. Neutron
Discovered by James Chadwick
No charge
Atomic Number
Number of protons.
Mass Number
Protons + Neutrons
Electronic Configuration
Electrons arranged in shells:
K shell = 2
L shell = 8
M shell = 18
5. The Fundamental Unit of Life
All living organisms are made of cells.
Discovery of Cell
Cell discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665.
Types of Cells
1. Prokaryotic cells
No nucleus
Example: bacteria
2. Eukaryotic cells
Proper nucleus
Example: plant and animal cells
Cell Organelles
Nucleus
Control center of cell
Mitochondria
Powerhouse of cell
Ribosomes
Protein synthesis
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Transport system
Golgi Apparatus
Packaging of proteins
Lysosomes
Digest waste materials
Vacuole
Storage
6. Tissues
Group of similar cells performing same function.
Plant Tissues
Meristematic tissue
Actively dividing cells
Types:
Apical
Intercalary
Lateral
Permanent tissue
Types:
Parenchyma
Collenchyma
Sclerenchyma
Animal Tissues
Epithelial tissue
Protective covering
Connective tissue
Bone, blood
Muscular tissue
Movement
Nervous tissue
Control and coordination
7. Motion
Motion means change in position with time.
Types of Motion
Rectilinear motion
Circular motion
Periodic motion
Distance and Displacement
Distance: total path covered
Displacement: shortest path
Speed
Speed = Distance / Time
Velocity
Speed with direction.
Acceleration
Change in velocity per unit time.
8. Force and Laws of Motion
Force is a push or pull.
Effects of Force
Change shape
Change speed
Change direction
Newton's Laws of Motion
First Law Object remains at rest unless acted upon by force.
Second Law F = ma
Third Law Every action has equal and opposite reaction.
Momentum
Momentum = mass × velocity
9. Gravitation
Objects attract each other due to gravity.
Law of Gravitation
Given by Isaac Newton.
F = G (m₁m₂ / r²)
Free Fall
Motion of object under gravity alone.
Acceleration due to Gravity
g = 9.8 m/s²
Mass vs Weight
Mass = amount of matter
Weight = force due to gravity
10. Work and Energy
Work
Work = Force × Distance
Energy
Capacity to do work.
Types of Energy
Kinetic Energy Energy of motion.
KE = ½mv²
Potential Energy Energy due to position.
PE = mgh
Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
11. Sound
Sound is produced by vibrations.
Propagation of Sound
Sound travels through medium (solid, liquid, gas).
Characteristics of Sound
1. Loudness Depends on amplitude.
2. Pitch Depends on frequency.
3. Quality Differentiate sounds.
Speed of Sound
Fastest in solids.
12. Improvement in Food Resources
Methods to increase food production.
Crop Production
Two types:
Kharif crops Example: rice, maize
Rabi crops Example: wheat, mustard
Animal Husbandry
Raising animals for food.
Examples:
Dairy farming
Poultry farming
Fisheries
Apiculture (beekeeping)
