created by a diplomatic treaty known as Meter Convention
5.2 S.I. UNITS which was signed in Paris in 1875.
The International System of Units (in French Le Systeme The SI system has seven base units and they are listed in
table given below.
These units pertain to the seven fundamental scientific quantities. The other physical quantities such as speed, volume,
density etc. can be derived from these quantities. The definitions of the SI base units are given below :
Unit of length metre The metre is the length of the path travelled by light in
vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second.
Unit of mass Kilogram The kilogram is the unit of mass; it is equal to the mass of
the internationl prototype of the kilogram.
Unit of time second The second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the
radiation corresponding to the transition between the two
hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133
atom.
Unit of electric current ampere The ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in
two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of
negligible circular cross-section, and placed 1 metre apart
in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a
force equal to 2 × 10–7 newton per metre of length.
Unit of amount of substance mole 1. The mole is the amount of substance of a system
which contains as many elementary entities as there
are atoms in 0.012 kilogram of carbon-12; its symbol
is “mol.”.
Unit of luminous intensity candela The candela is the luminous intensity, in a given direction,
of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of
frequency 540 × 1012 hertz and that has a radiant intensity
in that direction of 1/683 watt per steradian.

6.1 Mass and Weight The ratio in which two or more elements combine to form a
compound remains fixed and is independent of the source
Mass of a substance is the amount of matter present in it of the compound. This law was given by, a French chemist,

The SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). The SI derived When two elements combine to form two or more compounds

— °C (degree celsius), °F (degree fahrenheit) and K (kelvin).
7.6 Avogadro Law
The temperature on two scales is related to each other by
the following relationship: In 1811, Avogadro proposed that equal volumes of gases at
°F = 9/5 (°C) + 32 the same temperature and pressure should contain equal
number of molecules.
