Chapter 1: Atoms, Elements & Compounds Flashcards
What does MSDS stand for?
M - Material
S - Safety
D - Data
S - Sheet
What info would you expect to find on MSDS?
You would find info on physical properties - (melting and boiling point, odour, chemical hazards)
What does WHMIS stand for?
W - Workplace H - Hazardous M - Materials I - Information S - System
What are 3 ways in which WHMIS ensures workers have the info they need about substances they utilize?
- WHMIS Labels
- MSDS
- Worker Education
What is Matter?
- Anything with mass and volume
- Could be solid, liquid or gas
What is a Mixture?
- Combinations of matter than can be divided by physical means.
- It does not have a definite composition.
What is a Heterogeneous Mixture (Mechanical Mixture)
- different elements of the mixture that are easily seen.
- composition is changing throughout the mixture.
What is a Homogeneous Mixture (Solution)
- Different elements which are not easily seen.
- Composition is table or steady throughout the mixture.
What is a Pure Substance?
- Matter with a definite composition.
What is a Element?
- It cannot be chemically broken down into an easy substance.
What is a Compound?
- 2 or more components or pieces that are chemically combined.
- Can be divided chemically into an easy substance.
What is the order of the model/theories?
- Dalton Model (Billiard Ball)
- Thomson Model (Raisin Bun)
- Rutherford Model (Solar System)
- Bohr Model (Energy Levels)
- Quantum Mechanics
What is the Dalton Model about?
- This is the Solid Sphere Model
- It is the Billiard Ball Model.
- Dalton atoms were indivisible particles which could not be formed or destroyed.
What is the Thomson Model?
- It is the Plum Pudding Model
- It is the Raisin Bun Model
What is the Rutherford Model?
This model is when electrons are orbiting around the nucleus.
- It is fondly called the Solar System Model.
What is the Bohr Model ?
- It is when Electrons exist at specific energy levels.
- This is about Energy Levels.
What is the Quantum Mechanics about?
This is when protons and electrons are together to form nucleons.
What is a Gas Discharge Tube?
A secured glass vessel which includes a gas at low pressure.
What does Atomic Number mean?
of protons in the nucleus.
What does Mass Number mean?
Total # of protons and electrons.
