Chemical Bonding
Across
- 3. the combining power of an element, especially as measured by the number of hydrogen atoms it can displace or combine with.
- 5. make (someone or something) different; alter or modify.
- 6. relating to or denoting chemical bonds formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.
- 8. the positively charged central core of an atom, consisting of protons and neutrons and containing nearly all its mass.
- 10. a subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but without an electric charge, present in all atomic nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen.
- 12. a strong force of attraction holding atoms together in a molecule or crystal, resulting from the sharing or transfer of electrons.
- 13. the basic unit of a chemical element.
- 14. (of a reaction or process) accompanied by the release of heat.
- 15. a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of opposite sign.
- 19. a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
- 20. a compound or substance that has been purified or prepared, especially artificially.
Down
- 1. freely transfer the possession of (something) to (someone
- 2. a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids.
- 4. an amount of something gained or acquired from one source
- 7. a mathematical relationship or rule expressed in symbols.
- 9. (of a reaction or process) accompanied by or requiring the absorption of heat.
- 11. have a portion of (something) with another or others.
- 16. farthest from the center.
- 17. relating to, composed of, or using ions.
- 18. an orbit followed by electrons around an atom's nucleus.
