Across
- 4. a neutral particle in the nucleus of an atom
- 5. a substance made of two or more elements that are chemically combined
- 6. the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom; they determine how an atom bond

- 12. a vertical column on the periodic table; elements in the same group share similar properties
- 14. a horizontal row on the periodic table; elements in the same period have the same number of energy levels
- 15. a positively charged particle in the nucleus of an atom
Down
- 1. the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
- 2. a chart that organizes all known elements by their properties and atomic number
- 3. two or more atoms bonded together
- 7. the force that holds atoms together in a molecule or compound
- 8. the dense center of the atom that contains protons and neutrons
- 10. a negatively charged particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom
