Science Chemistry Test Flashcards
Why are the two Safety Organizations good to use?
- Put symbols on containers (better than worse)
- Universal
- Other Country (Language Barriers)
- For those who cannot read
What is HHPS?
Hazardous Household Products Symbols.
There are four symbols: Poisonous, Corrosive, Explosive, and Flammable. There are two shapes: Triangle and Octagon. (Octagon = Stronger)
What is WHMIS?
Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System. Symbols similar to HHPS, plus others (e.g. Infectious) Usually only one shape. (Circle)
The Particle Theory of Matter (4)
- All matter is made up of particles
- The particles are always moving
- When heated the particles move more
- The particles are held together by bonds
What are the three states of matter and their properties?
Solid
- Strong
- Close together
- Vibrate
Liquid
(in between)
Gas
- Weak
- Far apart
- Moving all over
What are the 4 types of mixtures with examples?
Physical Change
- Solution (Sugar in Water)
- Suspension (Oil in Water)
- Mechanical Mixture (Salt and Pepper)
- Colloid (Milk)
Qualitative Physical Properties:
- Colour
- Texture
- State of Matter
- Taste
- Smell
2 Pure Substances:
Chemical Change
- Elements (Hydrogen, Oxygen)
- Compounds (Water)
Quantitative Physical Properties:
- Boiling Point
- Volume
- Density
The physical properties for each of the mixtures:
Solutions: Clear
Suspensions: Two parts stacked on each other
Mechanical Mixtures: Two parts all mixed up
Colloids: Cloudy (only see one thing)
What’s Homogenous?
It’s when you can only see one thing.
What’s Heterogenous?
It’s when you see more than one thing.
What’s Malleable?
The ability of a substance to change its shape. (Gold)
What’s Ductile?
The ability of a substance to be made into long threads. (Copper)
Qualitative PP:
- No number value
- Often the same for different substances
Quantitative PP:
- Get a # value
- Usually different for different substances
Density:
- Very useful
- No two substances have the same density.
- Depends on the # of particles in a “space”
- More particles = greater density
Density: Mass/Volume
Evidence of a Chemical Change:
- Colour change (NR)
- Bubbles form
- Heat is made
- Change of state (NR)
- Precipitate forms
Who is Mendeleev?
- Designed the earliest P.T.
- Around 60 Elements were known.
- Same column if similar properties
- Gaps: if no elements had similar properties.
Each Square of the Periodic Table contains:
- Atomic Number
- Name
- Symbol
- Atomic Mass
Rules for Periodic Table:
- Maximum two letters
- 1st = Capital
- 2nd = Lowercase
Three main groups in the PT:
- Metals (most)
- Non-metals (few)
- Metalloids (staircase), (mixture of properties)
How many Groups and Periods?
- 18 Columns/Groups (same group = similar properties)
- 7 Rows/Periods
Group names:
17 = Halogens
#2 = Alkaline Earth Metals
#17 = Halogens
#18 = Noble Gases
