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.
