- 2. The substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction.
- 4. A substance made up of only one type of atom.
- 5. The starting substances in a chemical reaction.
- 6. A negatively charged particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom.
- 12. Molecules that have a partial positive and negative charge due to uneven sharing of electrons.
