WHMIS
Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System
Gas cylinder (WHMIS)
compressed gas, if exposed to certain temperatures or abuse can explode.
Flame (WHMIS)
Flammable, fire or explosion hazard
Flame over Circle (WHMIS)
Oxidizing materials. May explode or cause fire when exposed to combustibles and flammable substances.
Corrosion (WHMIS)
Can corrode materials and flesh; strong acids and bases are usually corrosive
Skull and Crossbones (WHMIS)
Toxic/poison. Can result in death or serious illness.
Health Hazard (WHMIS)
Serious health effects. Caution, may cause long-term effects if repeatedly exposed. May cause irritation.
Biohazard (WHMIS)
Bacteria, Fungi, viruses, parasites, and overall germs that can result in illness or death.
Exploding Bomb (WHMIS)
Dangerously reactive materials. Explosives and highly unstable material at risk of exploding. Highly reactive
Environment (WHMIS)
Environmentally hazardous, materials that can be toxic or damaging to the environment
Chemicals at home
Hazardous Household Product Symbols (HHPS)
Exclamation Mark (WHMIS)
Less serious health effects, caution, may cause non-immediate health effects in repeatedly exposed.
Niels Bohr
1913 - Planetary model, electrons orbit the nucleus in orbits that have specific size and energy, energy of the orbit is related to its size, lowest energy found in the smallest orbit
Structure of the Atom
Made up of three different subatomic particles: Protons, Neutrons, Electrons. Central nucleus (protons and neutrons) surrounded by orbiting electrons.
Protons
Found in nucleus, positively charged
Neutrons
Found in nucleus, neutral charge
