CHEMICAL REACTIONS
Across
- 1. _______reaction: a process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances
- 5. The chemicals that are present before a chemical reaction takes place. They react together to produce new chemical compounds
- 7. Water, made up of water
- 11. A reaction in which a compound is broken down into simpler compounds or elements
- 13. a chemical reaction that occurs between a fuel and an oxidizing agent that produces energy
- 14. ________Replacement: Also known as a metathesis reaction. A reaction in which two reactants trade partners
- 15. ______equation: Method of writing the essential features of a chemical reaction using chemical symbol
- 16. ________ series: an empirical, calculated, and structurally analytical progression of a series of metals, arranged by their "reactivity" from highest to lowest.
- 18. ________Replacement: A reaction in which one component of a compound is replaced by a new component
- 20. an element that doesn't have the characteristics of metal
- 21. any of a class of substances characterized by high electrical and thermal conductivity as well as by malleability, ductility, and high reflectivity of light
Down
- 2. any substance composed of identical molecules consisting of atoms of two or more chemical elements
- 3. Equations: A description of a chemical reaction that gives the chemical formulas of the reactants and the products of the reaction
- 4. one of the three principal states of matter, whose most obvious physical properties is retention of volume and its conformation to the shape of its container
- 6. A molecule that is produced in a chemical reaction
- 8. the construction of complex chemical compounds from simpler ones
- 9. made up of two or more atoms that are chemically bonded together
- 10. A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without participating in it either as a reactant or product. Catalysts are thus not consumed in the reaction
- 12. one of the three basic states of matter, forms from liquid or gas because the energy of atoms decreases when the atoms take up a relatively ordered structure
- 13. A number used to indicate the presence of more than one unit of a chemical species in a chemical equation
- 17. a substance whose atoms all have the same number of protons
- 19. one of the three fundamental states of matter that appears to have no structure at all
