chapter 5 review physical science
Across
- 4. a chemical element that lacks the properties of metals
- 7. the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, which form when one atom transfers electrons to another
- 10. a substance formed when two or more different chemical elements are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio
- 12. the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are available to form chemical bonds with other atoms
- 13. a type of chemical bond where electrons are shared equally between two atoms, resulting in no overall electrical charge
- 17. a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler components by chemical means
- 18. a mixture of two or more metals, or a metal combined with a non-metallic element, which is made by melting the components together and allowing the mixture to cool and solidify
- 19. the simplest and lightest element, with each atom having only one proton
Down
- 1. a vertical arrangement of elements with similar chemical properties
- 2. a substance formed by combining two or more different elements that are chemically joined in a fixed proportion
- 3. a type of covalent bond where electrons are shared unequally between two atoms, causing one end of the molecule to have a slightly negative charge and the other end to have a slightly positive charge
- 5. a chart that organizes all known chemical elements by their atomic number, arranging them in rows (periods) and columns (groups) to show trends in their properties
- 6. the study of how atoms and molecules are held together by chemical bonds, which can form through the sharing or transfer of electrons
- 8. a chemical bond that forms when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration
- 9. an atom or a group of atoms that has a net electrical charge because it has either lost or gained one or more electrons
- 11. the smallest unit of an element that retains its chemical properties
- 14. the electrostatic attraction between a "sea" of delocalized electrons and the fixed, positively charged metal ions in a lattice
- 15. elements characterized by their luster (shininess), good conductivity of heat and electricity, and their malleability (ability to be shaped) and ductility (ability to be drawn into wires)
- 16. the attractive force that holds atoms together to form molecules or other structures
