WHMIS
Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System
WHMIS is a Canada-wide system designed to give employers and
workers information about hazardous materials used in the workplace.
Provides workers with information how to safely store and handle
dangerous materials.
Has three components:
o WHMIS Labels
o MSDS’s Materials Safety Data Sheets
o Worker training and education

Mixtures
All matter can be divided into mixtures and pure substances.
Pure substances are made up of only one type of particle (molecule).
Mixtures are made up of different types of particles.
In a mixture the different particles can be separated (somehow).
Homogeneous mixture (solution)
o Are uniform throughout
o eg, chocolate milk, coffee
Heterogeneous mixture (mechanical mixture)
o You can see the different particles in the mixture.
o Eg. Trail mix, cement, steak spice, salad

Carbon
Atomic number
o Is the number of protons in one atom
o The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons
Example
1. Given carbon above
a. Protons = 6
b. Electrons = 6
c. Neutrons = 12 – 6 = 6

a. Na sodium
Protons = 11
Electrons = 11
Neutrons 23-11 = 12
b. Z zinc
Protons = 30
Electrons = 30
Neutrons 65 – 30 = 35
c. Pb lead
Protons = 82
Electrons = 82
Neutrons 207 – 82 = 125
Ions
the number of electrons in the outer orbit of an atom will determine how
this atom/element reacts with other atoms
atoms always want to have a complete/full outer orbital so they will give
away extra electrons or they will try to steal electrons
metals have extra electrons so they donate electrons they become a
positive ion
non-metals are missing electrons so they accept electrons to become a
negative ion
Science 9 Matter and Chemical Change 21
Examples
1. Lithium,
has 3 electrons
has 1 extra electron in the outer orbital
will give away 1 e
as an ion
2. Magnesium,
has 12 electrons
has 2 extra electron in the
outer orbital
will give away 2 e
as an ion
3. Sulfur,
has 16 electrons
is missing 2 electrons
in the outer orbital
will steal 2 e
as an ion
Science 9 Matter and Chemical Change 22
4. Flourine,
has 9 electrons
is missing 1 electron
in the outer orbital
will steal 1 e
as an ion
5. Argon,
has 18 electrons
all orbitals are complete
If there is more than one atom of an element, a subscript follows the element’s
symbol.

There are two types of compounds, molecular compounds and ionic compounds.
Ionic compounds are formed when atoms transfer electrons to other atoms.
Molecular compounds are formed when atoms share electrons.
Ionic Compounds
An Ionic Compound is always made up of a (+) metal ion and a (-) non-metal ion.
Ionic compounds stick together because of an electrostatic charge. The charges in
an ionic compound must balance.
When naming an ionic compound the metal will always keep its name the non-
metal changes its name to _______ide.
1. The name includes both elements in the compound, with the name
of the metallic element first.
2. The non-metallic element is second. Its ending is changed to –ide.
3. Subscripts indicate the ratio of ions in the compound.
Examples
2. Ca2+ + F- =>
1. Write the symbols for the elements in the same order as they
appear in the name.
2. To determine the numbers of each type of atom, balance the
negative and positive charges to be equal.
Polyatomic Ions
Polyatomic Ions are ions with more than one atom, they are already named, we do
not need to rename them.
Multivalent Ions
Some of the transitional metals can have more than one possible valance (ion)
because of sub-orbitals. When we use a multivalent metal we must specify which
ion charge we are using so me we use roman numerals.
Examples:
1) nickel (II) chloride 3) copper (I) sulfide
Molecular Compounds
Diatomic molecules are molecules made of two atoms of the same element.
They are written…H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, also P4, S8
These are often called the “hockey stick” elements.
The elements that end in “-gen” (hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen) and the elements
that belong to group 17.
di -2 hexa - 6 deca - 10
tri -3 hepta - 7
tetra - 4 octa - 8
Science 9 Matter and Chemical Change 27
Examples:
SO(g)
SO2(g)
SO3(g)
P3O5(s)
Note: the small symbols in parentheses after each compound, indicate the state of matter
at room temperature. Solid (s), liquid (l), gas (g),
or aqueous (aq) a solid dissolved in water.
1. Write the symbols for the elements in the same order as they
appear in the name.
2. Use subscripts to indicate the numbers of each type of atom.
Examples:
1) carbon monoxide
2) chlorine dioxide
3) pentaphosphorus decaoxide
4) fluorine
Some molecular compounds are not named using the common naming method, but
rather they have common names, that need to be memorized!
Examples:
water H2O(l)
methane CH4(g)
hydrogen peroxide H2O2(l)
ammonia NH3(g)
sucrose C12H22O11(s)
glucose C6H12O6(s)

You can convert the above word equation into a chemical equation by substituting
the chemical formulas for the chemical names:
Remember that according to the Law of Conservation of Mass, atoms are neither
created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction…
…the atoms in the above reaction, as in all chemical reactions, change partners as
old substances are changed into new substances.
Science 9 Matter and Chemical Change 29
Chemical reactions that give off energy are called exothermic reactions.
Examples:
Combustion reactions such as…
Examples:
Corrosion…
iron + oxygen + energy iron (II) oxide
Electrolysis…
water + energy (electricity) oxygen + hydrogen
Cooking…
baking soda + energy carbon dioxide + water + sodium carbonate
The rate of a chemical reaction can be sped up or slowed down by changing the
following factors:
Temperature: at higher temperatures, the rate of most chemical
reactions increases.
Examples: food is placed in an oven to cook faster; fresh fruit and vegetables are
placed in the refrigerator to slow down chemical reactions.
I. Corrosion
Corrosion is the oxidation of metals or rocks in the presence of air and moisture.
One type of corrosion is rust.
Rust is iron oxide, a product of the chemical reaction of iron, oxygen, and
moisture.
II. Combustion
