Keywords

💡Chemical Symbol

A chemical symbol is a shorthand notation that represents an element or a compound in the periodic table. In the context of the video, it refers to the symbols used to indicate the hazardous properties of chemical substances. The script mentions that there are different types of hazard symbols, each representing a specific risk such as flammability or corrosiveness.

💡Hazardous Chemicals

Hazardous chemicals are substances that pose a threat to health, safety, or the environment. The video script discusses various types of hazardous chemicals, such as explosives, oxidizers, and corrosive agents, and their respective symbols. The script uses examples like TNT for explosives and hydrogen peroxide for oxidizers to illustrate these concepts.

💡Explosive

An explosive is a substance that rapidly releases energy in the form of a high-pressure shock wave and heat. The video mentions TNT as a common example of an explosive chemical used in military, mining, or construction. The script explains that explosives are marked with a specific hazard symbol to indicate their potential to detonate under certain conditions.

💡Oxidizer

An oxidizer is a substance that increases the oxidation state of another substance and can cause or enhance combustion.
