Use of "I" and "me"

CBSE ADDA
"I" and "me" are both pronouns that we use to refer to ourselves. Use "I" when it is the subject of the verb, and use "me" when it is the object of the verb or follow a preposition (with me, after us, etc). Remember that"I" is always written as a capital letter.

People most often make mistakes using "I" and "me" when they are talking about more than one person. For example:
My husband and I are going on vacation to Hawaii. (correct)
My husband and me are going on vacation to Hawaii. (incorrect)
Linda, Janet and I are friends. (correct)
Linda, Janet and me are friends. (incorrect)
You and I are having a dinner tonight. (correct)
You and me are having a dinner tonight. (incorrect)

My parents took my brother, sister, and me to the zoo every year when we were growing up. (correct)
My parents took my brother, sister, and I to the zoo every year when we were growing up. (incorrect)

Note that we mention the other person(s) first. In the above sentences we can't say "I and my husband", "I, Linda and Janet", etc.

The easiest way to decide whether "I" or "me" is correct is to make the sentence using only "I" and see if it makes sense:

I am going on vacation to Hawaii. (correct)
Me am going on vacation to Hawaii. (incorrect

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination(Solved)

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination Law of conservation of mass Law of constant proportion Empirical formula 1. If 10 grams of CaCO 3 on heating gave 4.4g of CO 2 and 5.6g of CaO, show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.(Based on Law of conservation of mass) Solution:  Mass of the reactants = 10g ;  Mass of the products = 4.4 + 6.6g = 10g Since the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products, the observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass. 2. 1.375 g of cupric oxide was reduced by heating and the weight of copper that remained was 1.098g.  In another experiment 1.179 g of copper was dissolved in nitric acid and the resulting copper nitrate was converted into cupric oxide by ignition . The weight of cupric oxide formed was 1.476 g. which law of chemical combinations does this data state? Solution: in first experiment: Copper oxide = 1....

Activity 2.2 There are some substances whose odour changes in in acidic or basic media. These are called olfactory indicators. Like onion vanilla, onion and clove. These changes smell in basic solution. Activity 2.3 Take about 5 mL of dilute sulphuric acid in a test tube and add few pieces of zinc granules to it. => You will observe bubbles of hydrogen gas on the surface of zinc granules. Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2 => Pass the Hydrogen gas through the soap solution. Bubbles formed in the soap solution as Hydrogen gas it does not get d...
