8th Science Topic 1 Key Terms
Across
- 2. A solution that has a pH of 7, indicating it is neither acidic nor basic.
- 3. The starting substances in a chemical reaction that undergo change to form products.
- 4. Mixture A mixture in which the components are evenly distributed, making it difficult to distinguish the different parts.
- 6. Reaction A process in which substances interact to form new substances with different properties.
- 7. Tension The result of cohesion at the surface of a liquid, creating a "skin" that resists external force.
- 9. A pure substance made of only one type of atom that cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
- 11. The attraction between molecules of the same substance, such as water molecules sticking together.
- 12. The new substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction.
- 13. of Conservation of Mass A scientific principle stating that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction; the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products.
- 14. The attraction between molecules of different substances, such as water sticking to a glass surface.
- 15. A substance that decreases the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) in a solution, typically having a pH greater than 7.
Down
- 1. Mixture A mixture in which the components are not evenly distributed, allowing the different parts to be easily seen and separated.
- 5. Equation A symbolic representation of a chemical reaction, showing the reactants and products along with their quantities.
- 6. A substance formed when two or more different elements chemically bond together.
- 8. A substance that increases the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) in a solution, typically having a pH less than 7.
- 10. A substance that can cause damage to other substances by chemically reacting with them, often associated with acids and bases.
