Study Notes
WHMIS Symbols
- WHMIS uses symbols to indicate different chemical hazards
- Flammable (fire symbol)
- Corrosive (burns skin/eyes)
- Toxic (serious health effects)
- Compressed Gas (pressure)
- Oxidizing (causes fire/explosion)
- Health Hazard (respiratory problems)
- Explosive (risk of explosion)
- Environmental Hazard (damage to environment)
Do's and Don'ts in the Science Lab
-
Do's:
- Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles)
- Follow all instructions carefully
- Keep workspace clean and tidy
- Properly label containers
- Dispose of chemicals properly
-
Don'ts:
- Eat or drink in the lab
- Put substances in your mouth
- Work alone
- Run or play
- Ignore safety instructions/warnings
Significant Figures and Rounding
- Significant figures (sig figs) are digits that contribute to accuracy
- To round:
- Look at the digit to the right of the rounding cutoff
- If 5 or higher, round up
- If lower than 5, keep the last digit as is
Scientific Method
- Systematic process for experiments/analyses:
- Ask a question
- Do background research
- Formulate a hypothesis (testable prediction)
- Conduct experiments and collect data
- Analyze, interpret data (conclusion)
- Share findings (communicate results)
Graphing
- Choose scales that make the data easy to read and interpret
- Accurately mark data points
- Draw a line of best fit to represent the trend (doesn't have to go through all points)
Determining the Slope of a Line of Best Fit
- Slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
- Represents the rate of change
- Helps understand the relationship between variables
Chapter 4: Studying Matter
- Pure Substances: Materials with consistent composition (e.g., distilled water, gold)
- Elements: Made of only one type of atom (e.g., oxygen)
- Compounds: Two or more elements chemically combined (e.g., water)
- Mixtures: Physical combination of substances, retaining individual properties
- Homogeneous Mixtures (Solutions): Uniform composition (e.g., saltwater)
- Heterogeneous Mixtures: Non-uniform composition (e.g., oil and water)
Chapter 5: History of the Atom
- Ancient Greek Philosophers: Proposed matter is composed of indivisible particles (atoms)
- John Dalton: Developed first modern atomic theory (atoms of an element are identical)
- J.J. Thompson: Discovered electrons, leading to the "plum pudding" model
- Ernest Rutherford: Conducted gold foil experiment, discovered the nucleus
- Nagaoka: Proposed a Saturnian model of the atom (electrons orbiting a central nucleus)
- James Chadwick: Discovered the neutron
Chapter 5: Structure of the Atom
- Subatomic Particles: Protons (positive), neutrons (neutral), electrons (negative)
- Atomic Number: Number of protons
- Determining Atomic Number, Number of Protons, Electrons, Mass Number & Neutrons
- Mass Number: Sum of protons & neutrons
- Isotopes: Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
- Bohr-Rutherford Diagrams: Represent electron arrangements in shells around the nucleus.
Chapter 5: The Periodic Table
- Types of Elements: Metals, metalloids, non-metals
- Trends on the periodic table (reactivity, atomic size)
Chapter 6: Properties of Ionic and Molecular Compounds
- Ionic Compounds: Formed by the transfer of electrons between a metal & nonmetal
- Properties: Usually solid at room temp, high melting/boiling points, conduct electricity when dissolved.
- Molecular Compounds: Formed by the sharing of electrons between non-metals
- Properties: Can be solid, liquid or gas at room temp, lower melting/boiling points, do not conduct electricity in water
Chapter 6: Naming Ionic and Molecular Compounds
- Naming Ionic Compounds: Name cation (positive ion) first, then anion (negative ion: root + "ide")
- Naming Molecular Compounds: Use prefixes (mono-, di-, tri-, etc.) to indicate the number of atoms of each element
Chapter 6: Bohr-Rutherford Diagrams
- Shows electrons in specific levels around nucleus, depicting the sharing of electrons in covalent bonds
- Each atom satisfies octet rule. (covalent bonds)

Unit 2: Ecology - Chapter 1- Water Cycle
- Evaporation: Liquid water turns into water vapor through heat
- Transpiration: Plants release water vapor into the air
- Condensation: Water vapor cools and changes back into liquid water droplets to form clouds
- Precipitation: Water falls as rain, snow, sleet, or hail
- Seepage: Water moves underground
Unit 2: Ecology - Chapter 1- Carbon Cycle
- Photosynthesis: Plants use CO2, water, and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen
- Respiration: Organisms break down glucose (releasing CO2) for energy
- Decomposition: Organisms break down dead organisms, releasing CO2
- Other elements involved: Atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, biosphere
Unit 2: Ecology - Chapter 1- Nitrogen Cycle
- Nitrogen Fixation: Convers atmospheric N2 into ammonia (NH3)
- Ammonification: Decomposition of organic nitrogen compounds into ammonium (NH4+)
- Nitrification: Conversion of NH4+ to NO2- then NO3-
- Assimilation: Plants absorb nitrates and ammonium into organic molecules
- Denitrification: Conversion of NO3- back into atmospheric N2
