Household Product Safety(HHPS)
Types of frames used around the symbols are
- Inverted Triangle- It means that the container is dangerous
- Octagon- It means the product inside the container is dangerous

(MSDS) identifies the ==specific== chemical and physical hazards associated with the product.
Properties and Classification of Matter
Properties: describe the physical appearance and composition of a substance
==Physical== Properties include:
- Boiling or condensation point
- Melting or freezing point
- Malleability(capable of being altered or controlled by outside forces or influences.)
- Ductility(the ability of a material to be drawn or plastically deformed without fracture)
- Color, state, and solubility
- Crystal formation
- Electrical conductivity and magnetism
==Chemical== Properties describe how reactive a substance is
Chemical properties include:
- Ability to burn and flash point
- Behavior in air
- with water, acids, heat and litmus
Pure Substances and Mixtures
- Pure substances- All substances that make up the substance are identical, so its chemical and physical are constant. (element of compound) * Element- Pure substance that @@cannot@@ be broken down into an other substances * Compound- chemical combination of two or more elements in a specific ratio.
- Mixtures- Combination of two or more pure substances
- Hetereogenous Mixtures (different): * Mechanical Mixtures- different substances are visible * Suspentions- Where componets are in different states * Colloids- Suspended substances cannot be easily seperated
- Homogenous mixture(same throughout): * Solutions- seperate compounds are not visible;one substance is dissolved in another.
Chemical Reactions
Two important features of a chemical reaction are:
- New substances with new physical and chemical properties are formed
- Energy flows into or out of the system during a reaction.
To indicate a chemical change 2 or more of the following should occur:
- Heat or light is produced or absorbed
- the starting material is used up, or a new substance is produced
- There is a change in color
- A percipitate( solid) or bubbles(gas) formed in the liquid
- The change is difficult to reverse
- New odour forms
Atomic Models
- Greek Theory- Proposed that matter could be composed of small, indivisble particles
- John Dalton (Billiard Ball Theory)- * He rediscovered the atomic concept of matter * States the law of multiple proportions * When 2 or more elements form a series of Compounds form a fixed mass that have interger ratios of each other * Ex. Methane:CH4, has a 1:4 ratio of carbon:hydrogen * To behave in this manner atoms need to be formed
- JJ Thompson (Plum Pudding or Raising Bun Model)- * Most famous for discovering the electron * Thompson worked with a Cathode Ray Tubes(CRTs) . * Cathode ray tubes showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons. * Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of the atom, which had negatively-charged electrons embedded within a positively-charged "soup."

\
- Rutherford (Planetary model)- * Rutherford fixed the problem in Thompson’s model * Rutherford designed an eperiment that helped fix the problem called the scattering experiment. * Alpha particles were expected to pass through the thin gold foil with little scattering. * Rutherford assumed that the alphas were interacting electrositcally with solid centers of the atom. * He discovered the nucleus with protons and neutrons.
- Niels Bohr (Bohr Model)- * Bohr modified Rutherfors’s theory * He observed that electrons don’t orbit the nucleus but they exist with diffrent energy levels.
- Schroedinger ( Electron Cloud or Quantum Mechanical Model)- * An elvolving model but currently thought of as a cloud of negative charges.
