Energy Chapter Project
Across
- 3. Breaking-up an atom’s nucleus
- 6. The energy in the movement in molecules
- 7. Converting stored chemical energy into forms we can use for other things.
- 9. These are generally readily available, and are replaced quickly or continually.
- 10. The most commonly used fossil fuel for electricity generation.
- 14. Water or gas is injected underground to push oil upwards to be collected.
- 16. Used when coal deposits are near the surface.
- 18. Involves joining 2 atomic nuclei
- 21. The energy stored in forces holding atomic nuclei together
- 22. Pushes the oil to the surface requiring no additional action.
- 23. The energy required to move/change an object’s position
Down
- 1. The energy stored in chemical bonds between atoms and molecules.
- 2. Plant in Ukraine exploded exposing a nuclear reactor core.
- 4. Used when coal deposits are deep underground.
- 5. These are resources which can never be replaced, or are replaced too slowly to be practical
- 8. The energy of motion
- 11. Materials we often combust to produce these forms of energy.
- 12. Compression of dead plant material
- 13. Energy of an object due to its position or shape
- 15. Cleanest burning of the fossil fuels, and is relatively abundant in the US.
- 17. Energy associated with the movement/flow of electrons
- 19. An unstable atom and often emits a neutron
- 20. The energy emitted in the form of waves of the electromagnetic spectrum
