Study Notes
WHMIS
- WHMIS stands for Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System
- It's Canada's national system for hazardous material information in workplaces.
Matter and Mixtures
- Matter: Anything with mass and volume.
- Mixture: Two or more substances combined, each retaining its properties.
- Heterogeneous Mixture: Components not evenly mixed, easily distinguishable (e.g., sand in water).
- Suspension: Heterogeneous mixture with visible particles that settle.
- Colloid: Heterogeneous mixture with evenly distributed particles that don't settle.
- Homogeneous Mixture: Components evenly distributed, uniform appearance (e.g., salt water).
Pure Substances
- Pure Substance: Uniform composition, only one type of particle.
- Elements: Pure substances made of only one type of atom (found on the periodic table).
- Compounds: Pure substances formed by combining two or more elements chemically in fixed ratios.
- Ionic Compound: Formed by transferring electrons (cations and anions).
- Molecular Compound: Formed by sharing electrons (covalent bonds).
Properties of Matter
- Physical Properties: Observable or measurable without changing composition (e.g., color, density).
- Chemical Properties: Describe a substance's ability to react or undergo a chemical change.
Atomic Structure
- Atom: Smallest unit of an element.
- Atomic Mass: Average mass of an atom, including isotopes (in atomic mass units).
- Mass Number: Total number of protons and neutrons.
- Atomic Number: Number of protons, determines the element.
- Ions: Charged atoms (positive or negative) gained or lost electrons.
- Cation: Positive ion (loses electrons).
- Anion: Negative ion (gains electrons).
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical Reaction: Substances (reactants) turn into different substances (products) with new properties.
- Exothermic Reaction: Releases energy (heat or light).
- Endothermic Reaction: Absorbs energy.
- Law of Conservation of Mass: Mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction; total mass of reactants = total mass of products.
Atomic Models
- Democritus: Proposed atoms as indivisible.
- Aristotle: Rejected atoms, proposed four elements.
- Dalton: Atoms are solid spheres, identical for same elements, combine in specific ratios.
- J.J. Thomson: Discovered electrons; "plum pudding" model.
- Rutherford: Discovered the nucleus; atoms mostly empty space.
- Bohr: Electrons orbit nucleus in specific energy levels.
- Modern Cloud Theory (Quantum Mechanical Model): Electrons move in electron clouds/orbitals; probabilities for location.
Ionic Compounds
- Formation: Formed by positive (cations) and negative (anions) held by ionic bonds.
- Properties: High melting/boiling points, dissolves in water, conduct electricity in molten or dissolved state.
- Nomenclature:
- Name the metal (cation).
- Name the nonmetal (anion) with "-ide" ending.
- For transition metals with multiple charges, use Roman numerals.
Molecular Compounds
- Formation: Formed by nonmetals sharing electrons (covalent bonds).
- Properties: Low melting/boiling points, poor conductors, exist as solids, liquids, or gases at room temperature.
- Nomenclature: Use prefixes to denote the number of atoms (see table below).
Chemical Reactions and Rates
- Signs of a chemical reaction: Color change, bubbling, solid formation, energy change.
- Factors affecting reaction rate: Temperature, concentration, surface area, catalyst.
- Catalyst: Speeds up a reaction without being consumed.
- Enzyme: Biological catalyst; speeds up reactions in living organisms.
Law of Conservation of Mass
- The mass of the products in a chemical reaction equals the mass of the reactants.
Calculation
- Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
