CHEM120 OL, Week 1 Lab

Name: India Dunbar


OL Lab 1: Chemistry Safety and Atomic Structure: Assess the possibility of life
on other planets
Learning Objectives

 Identify the hazards posed by chemicals and how to handle them
 React quickly and save lives in case of a fire emergency
 Use the CAS numbers to plan your experiment
 Understand how to dispose of halogenated and non-halogenated waste
 Lookup H and P phrases in the safety data sheet
 Safely use a chemical fume hood
 Explain the concept of an atom
 Explain the properties of the basic subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and
electrons
 Define the atomic number and atomic mass
 Define isotopes
 Identify the basics of the quantum atomic model and describe the significance of
the four quantum numbers

Dangers in the lab

In the Chemistry Safety lab, you’ll learn to identify the hazards posed by the different
chemicals that you are using, which is a very important step in the planning of every
experiment.

Atoms and the subatomic particles
Everything you see around you is made up of atoms, and all atoms consist of subatomic
particles. In the Atomic Structure simulation, you will learn the names and properties of
the basic subatomic particles and understand how changing the number of electrons
may charge an atom either positively or negatively.

Identify different elements from the periodic table
As a part of your mission, you will be teleported to an exoplanet to explore on your own,
collect samples and come up with observations regarding the presence of life on the
planet. Back in the laboratory, you will investigate the properties of the elements you
brought back from the exoplanet. The periodic table will be close by to advise and guide
you.

What is an isotope?
In order to understand the main properties of an isotope in the Atomic Structure
simulation, you will use the holo-table.
