Biology
Across
- 2. a negatively charged ion.
- 3. energy the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.
- 5. an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.
- 8. bond a weak type of bond that forms between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom in another molecule.
- 11. a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.
- 13. a unit of mass used for expressing atomic and molecular weights.
- 15. bond a type of chemical bond that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
- 17. a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced
- 18. elements chemical elements present in tiny amounts in a given environment or organism.
- 19. the combining power of an element, especially as measured by the number of hydrogen atoms it can displace or combine with.
Down
- 1. bond a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.
- 4. a substance consisting of atoms which all have the same number of protons.
- 6. a region in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons.
- 7. covalent a type of covalent bond where electrons are shared unequally between atoms, resulting in a partial positive and partial negative charge.
- 9. covalent a type of covalent bond where electrons are shared equally between atoms.
- 10. number the total number of protons and neutrons in an atomic nucleus.
- 12. variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number.
- 14. mass the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units.
- 16. a positively charged ion.
- 20. a substance formed when two or more chemical elements are chemically bonded together.
