Study Notes
Classifying Matter
- Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space, and can be grouped into pure substances and mixtures.
- A pure substance has a constant composition; its properties remain consistent throughout. Examples include aluminum and sodium chloride.
- Pure substances are often called chemicals due to their specific chemical composition described in their name.
- Pure substances are further categorized into elements (made of one type of atom, e.g., oxygen or aluminum) and compounds (made of two or more elements combined in a fixed ratio, e.g., water (H₂O) or salt (NaCl)).
- Mixtures can be heterogeneous (e.g., salsa, with visible components) or homogeneous (e.g., many beverages, where individual components are not visually distinguishable). Homogeneous mixtures are often called solutions.
- Soda drinks are examples of mixtures that are liquid and dissolved carbon dioxide. "Pop" becomes a heterogeneous mixture when opened, changing from a combined liquid and gas state to only liquid when the fizz is gone.
Atoms and Ions
- An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains its chemical properties, composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- The nucleus, at the center of the atom, contains protons and neutrons. Electrons orbit the nucleus.
- Atomic size is much larger comparatively to the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are closely packed together at the center; electrons are much farther away.
- An ion is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons. Gaining electrons creates a negatively charged anion; losing electrons creates a positively charged cation.
Atomic Number and Mass Number
- The atomic number (Z) is the number of protons in an atom. In a neutral atom, the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons.
- The mass number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom.
Calculating Neutrons
- The number of neutrons (N) can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number (N = A - Z).
Isotopes
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. They have different mass numbers.
Radioisotopes
- A radioisotope is an atom with an unstable nucleus that undergoes radioactive decay, emitting energy (e.g., gamma rays) and/or subatomic particles. Carbon-14 is an example.
Safety with Chemicals
- Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is a standardized system in Canada to identify potentially hazardous materials.
- WHMIS 2015 symbols and ratings (0-4) indicate the level of danger (health, flammability, physical hazard) and necessary personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) provide detailed information, updated every three years, about chemicals and their safe handling.
