Atoms and Elements
Across
- 3. Time required for 1/2 of the atoms to decay
- 5. Isotopes that are unstable
- 7. Horizontal rows of the periodic table
- 9. In the nucleus;has a positive charge;mass of 1
- 10. Vertical columns of the periodic table
- 14. Beta particle is the same size as an electron
- 15. Substance that is entirely one type of atom
- 16. Indicates the number of protons+neutrons
- 17. Outside the nucleus;negative charge; no mass
- 19. Has properties of metals and nonmetals
Down
- 1. High in energy, does not change the mass
- 2. Alpha particle is the same size as the nucleus
- 4. Lighter nuclei combine to form heavier nucleus
- 6. Brittle, dull, poor conductors
- 8. When there is a difference in neutrons
- 11. Indicates the number of protons/electrons
- 12. In the nucleus;no electrical charge;mass of 1
- 13. Large nucleus splits into smaller pieces
- 16. Smallest unit of an element that has elemental properties
- 18. Make up protons and neutrons
