Atoms and Elements
Across
- 5. the state of matter in which the volume and shape of a substance are fixed
- 7. a substance made up of atoms of two or more different elements joined by chemical bonds
- 9. bond a lasting attraction between atoms, ions, or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds
- 11. anything that has mass and takes up space
- 12. substance a form of matter that has a constant chemical composition and distinct, consistent properties throughout the sample
- 13. a measure of the amount of matter in an object
- 14. the amount of space that an object takes up, or occupies
- 15. smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element
- 16. the state of matter that has a definite volume but not a definite shape
Down
- 1. the amount of force exerted per unit area of a surface
- 2. a group of atoms that are held together by chemical forces; a molecule is the smallest unit of a compound that keeps all the properties of that compound
- 3. table a tabular display of the 118 known chemical elements, organized by their atomic number
- 4. a measure of how hot (or cold) something is; specifically, a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object
- 6. a measure of how much mass is contained within a specific volume of a substance. It describes how tightly or loosely packed the "stuff"inside an object is
- 8. substance that cannot be separated or broken down into simpler substances by chemical means
- 9. of state the change of a substance from one physical state to another
- 10. Energy the total kinetic energy of a substance's particles
