Study Notes

WHMIS

WHMIS symbols are used to communicate potential hazards of materials and ensure safety.

Atomic Structure

Scientists like Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr contributed to our understanding of matter's organization.
Subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons) have unique properties (charge, location, mass).
The periodic table classifies elements based on atomic properties (metal/nonmetal, reactivity, electron shells).

Chemical Bonds

Ionic bonds form by electron transfer between atoms.
Covalent bonds form by electron sharing.
Group number of elements helps predict ion formation and charge.
Element combinations form ionic or molecular compounds.

Naming Compounds

Prefixes are used to name molecular compounds.
Ionic compounds (single-valent and multi-valent metals and polyatomic ions) have systematic naming conventions.
Chemical formula can be predicted from the compound name.
Ionic compounds have different properties than molecular compounds.
Compounds can be classified (acid, base, neutral) based on chemical properties (pH, conductivity).
Acid, base, and neutral properties can be identified from chemical formulas.

Chemical Reactions and Stoichiometry

The law of conservation of mass dictates equal reactants and products in balanced equations.
Reactions: Formation, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, combustion.
Energy changes (endothermic/exothermic).
Product prediction based on reaction type.
Solubility table helps predict product physical states (s, aq).
Molar mass calculation using the periodic table.
Moles calculation (n = m/M).

Physics

Energy: Kinetic (active) and potential (stored) energy, energy conversion.
Work: Calculation using W = FΔd; graphical calculations.
Thermal Energy: Kinetic-molecular model, specific heat capacity, heat transfer calculations (Q = mcΔT, phase change).
Measurement: Significant figures in calculations. Scalar and vector quantities.

Motion

Distance vs Displacement: Calculate displacement using Δd = d₂ - d₁.
Speed/Velocity: Calculation using v = Δd/Δt; formula rearrangement.
Motion Graphs: Identify uniform/non-uniform motion, calculate speed from slope.
Acceleration: Calculation using a = Δv/Δt; formula rearrangement.

Energy

Gravitational Potential Energy: Calculation using Eg = mgh.
Kinetic Energy: Calculation using Ek = 1/2mv².
Mechanical Energy: Interconversion of gravitational potential and kinetic energy in systems (e.g., pendulum, slide).
Law of Conservation of Energy/Thermodynamics: Two laws of thermodynamics; system efficiency calculation using % efficiency = (input E/ useful output E) x 100.

Biology

Experimental Design: Identify variables (controlled, manipulated, responding).
Cell Theory: Understanding of biogenesis (abiogenesis to biogenesis), Pasteur and Redi's contributions.
Microscope Technologies: Compound light vs. scanning electron microscopes (application, image characteristics).
Organization of Life: Cell → organism.
Cell Structure and Function: Identify organelles & functions in animal and plant cells (cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, ER, ribosomes, mitochondria, chloroplasts, vacuole).
Membrane Structure: Phospholipids and transport proteins. Phospholipid bilayer structure.
Cell Transport: Active and passive transport mechanisms (osmosis, diffusion, facilitated diffusion, endocytosis, exocytosis).
Plant Biology: Photosynthesis in specialized plant cells (epidermal, guard, spongy mesophyll, phloem, xylem, palisade). Guard cell water regulation, gas exchange, water and sugar transport (cohesion, adhesion).
Ecology: Systems (open, closed, isolated); Earth as a closed system.

Additional Ecology Topics

Greenhouse Effect: Natural vs. enhanced effect, greenhouse gases, natural processes.
Earth's Energy Budget: Fate of energy entering the biosphere, albedo, solar energy distribution, axial tilt and seasons; thermal energy distribution, water's specific heat capacity.
