BLM 1-1, Interpreting an MSDS/Skill Builder Goal: Students demonstrate their understanding of the information on a chemical label and a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). 1. (a) The name of the substance is cupric sulfate pentahydrate. The chemical formula is CuSO 4 5H 2 O. (b) The substance is potentially toxic either by absorption or by inhalation. (c) To avoid exposure, students should wear safety glasses, an apron, and gloves. Although not stated, proper ventilation is essential. The dust should not be inhaled. (d) Excess amounts of this chemical should be deposited in a labelled waste container. (e) The teacher should be informed immediately. The teacher should immediately contact poison control or medical personnel to find out how to proceed. It is likely that vomiting will need to be induced. 2. Note: For this question, search the Internet to find MSDS sheets to give your students. Use a search engine to search for an MSDS for any chemical by typing in MSDS and the name of the chemical. You may wish to provide all students with copies of the same MSDS, or provide a variety of MSDS sheets. are given below for an MSDS for strontium nitrate, Sr(NO 3 ) 2. (a) The name of the substance is strontium nitrate. The chemical formula is Sr(NO 3 ) 2. (b) The substance is slightly dangerous to your health. It may cause irritation of the skin, eyes, lungs, or gastrointestinal tract. Long-term exposure may result in liver, kidney, bone, blood, and nerve damage. (c) Inhalation of the dust from the chemical should be avoided. Students should wear gloves, goggles, and aprons. The substance must not be mixed with a reducing agent, because this could cause a fire. (d) In the event of a fire, firefighters should wear full protective clothing and a self-contained breathing apparatus. (e) All sources of ignition should be removed and proper ventilation should be initiated. Cleaning precautions should be taken to minimize or avoid dispersion of dust into the air. Waste should be sent to an appropriate hazardous waste facility. (f) The material should be stored in a cool, dry location.

Halogens may be gases, liquids, or solids at room temperature and pressure. Alkali metals are all shiny solids. Alkali metal atoms have one valence electron. Halogen atoms have seven valence electrons. Alkali metals are found in group 1 of the periodic table. Halogens are found in group 17 of the periodic table.

BLM 1-9, Chapter 1 Test/Assessment Goal: Students demonstrate their understanding of the information presented in Chapter 1. 1. T 2. T 3. F: Rutherford s model of the atom was rejected because it could not explain emission spectra and the stability of atoms. 4.

Thomson s model had electrons embedded within a sphere of positive charge. When Rutherford fired alpha particles at gold foil, most of the electrons were deflected only very slightly, while a very few bounced back. These results suggested that the atom was mostly empty space, with a dense, solid core. Thomson s model did allow for these results, so it was rejected.
27. In an ionic bond, cations and anions are attracted strongly because they are oppositely charged. In a binary ionic compound, atoms of metal elements give up electrons to atoms of non-metal elements, in such a way that the atoms usually achieve a stable octet. In a covalent bond, atoms of non-metal elements share electrons, usually so that each atom achieves a stable octet. 28. 29. (a) The oxygen isotopes have the same number of electrons and the same number of protons. The number of neutrons does not affect reactivity. How elements form compounds is dictated primarily by the valence electrons. (b) (c) Sodium oxide contains ionic bonds, while carbon dioxide contains covalent bonds.
