Chemistry

, Chemistry

1. SI Unit Conversion​
Giga (G), Mega (M), Kilo (k), hecto (h), deca (da), Unit (U: meter, liter, gram), deci (d), centi
(c), milli (m), micro (µ), nano (n)

2. Scientific Notation​
Example: 5000 = 5.0 x 10³

3. Important Safety Rules / WHMIS / GHS / HHPS Symbols

●​ WHMIS: Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (symbols for chemical
hazards in the workplace)
●​ GHS: Globally Harmonized System (international chemical labeling)
●​ HHPS: Hazardous Household Product Symbols (for household products)

4. Qualitative and Quantitative Properties

●​ Qualitative: Descriptive (color, texture)
●​ Quantitative: Measurable (mass, temperature)

5. Physical and Chemical Properties of Matter

●​ Physical: Color, state, melting point, boiling point
●​ Chemical: Flammability, reactivity

6. Density Formula (GRASS Method)​
Density (D) = Mass (m) / Volume (v)

7. Particle Theory (M.A.S.T.S)

●​ Matter is made of particles
●​ All particles have spaces between them
●​ Same substance = same particles
●​ Temperature affects movement
●​ Strong forces hold particles together

8. Types of Mixtures

, ●​ Heterogeneous: Visible different parts (salad)
●​ Homogeneous: Uniform throughout (saltwater)

9. Types of Solutions

●​ Solvent: The substance that dissolves the solute
●​ Solute: The substance that is dissolved
●​ Examples: Alloys (solid), vinegar (liquid), air (gas)

10. Tyndall Effect

●​ Scattering of light by particles in a colloid; does not occur in solutions

11. Pure Substances

●​ Element: One type of atom (Oxygen)
●​ Compound: Two or more atoms chemically combined (Water - H2O)

12. Physical and Chemical Changes

●​ Physical: Change in state/appearance
●​ Chemical: New substance formed (color change, gas production, temperature
change, precipitate, light emission)

13. Atoms and Elements

●​ Atom: Basic unit of matter
●​ Molecule: Two or more atoms bonded
●​ Element: Pure substance with one type of atom

14. Atomic Structure

●​ Protons: Positive (+), in nucleus
●​ Neutrons: Neutral (0), in nucleus
●​ Electrons: Negative (-), orbit nucleus

15. History of the Atom

●​ Dalton: Solid sphere model
●​ Thomson: Plum pudding model (discovered electrons)
●​ Rutherford: Gold foil experiment (discovered nucleus)
●​ Bohr: Electrons in orbits

16. Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment
