Chemistry
Across
- 1. Substances capable of donating protons (H⁺ ions), typically characterized by a low pH, a sour taste, and the ability to turn litmus paper red.
- 5. The specific arrangement and types of elements or substances that make up a material, mixture, or compound.
- 9. A rapid chemical reaction between a fuel and oxygen, resulting in the release of heat, light, and the formation of carbon dioxide and water.
- 10. Pertaining to the properties and characteristics of individual building blocks of matter.
- 12. Mathematical representations of chemical reactions, showing the reactants and products involved.
- 13. A measure of the amount of substance in an object, often expressed in units such as grams or kilograms.
- 14. The forces that hold together two or more atoms, creating compounds or molecules.
- 18. A substance that combines more than one metal or mixes a metal with other non-metallic elements.
- 19. Alterations in the physical or chemical properties of substances, which can be classified as physical (no change in composition) or chemical (involving a change in composition).
- 20. The smallest units of compounds, formed when two or more atoms bond together.
- 23. Another state of matter, with a fixed volume but no fixed shape, where particles flow and are loosely packed.
- 24. The gradual degradation of materials, often metals, due to chemical reactions with their environment, resulting in the formation of compounds on the material's surface.
- 26. The new substances resulting from a chemical reaction, formed from the transformation of reactants.
- 27. A substance whos atoms all have the same number of protons
Down
- 2. The property of a material, particularly metals, that allows them to be drawn into thin wires without breaking.
- 3. Positively charged subatomic particles found in an atom's nucleus, contributing to its atomic number.
- 4. The state of matter with a definite shape and volume, where particles are closely packed and have limited mobility.
- 5. A distinct compound or substance
- 6. The substances that initiate a chemical reaction, undergoing transformation into products.
- 7. The biological process by which plants and certain microorganisms convert carbon dioxide and water into energy-rich molecules (glucose) and oxygen using sunlight.
- 8. A combination of different substances physically mixed together, without a chemical bond, which can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.
- 10. The fundamental building blocks of matter, consisting of a nucleus with protons and neutrons, orbited by electrons.
- 11. Subatomic particles with no electric charge, located in an atom's nucleus, contributing to its mass.
- 15. A homogeneous mixture of one or more substances (solutes) dissolved in a solvent, often with uniform properties.
- 16. One of the states of matter, characterized by particles with high energy and random motion, taking the shape of their container.
- 17. A process that leads to the chemical transformation of one set of chemical substances into another.
- 21. The reddish-brown substance formed on the surface of iron or steel when exposed to oxygen and moisture, primarily composed of iron oxide.
- 22. The quality of being shiny and reflective, often associated with materials like metals.
- 25. A category of elements known for their electrical conductivity, malleability, and often lustrous appearance.
