CHEMISTRY
Across
- 3. A substance that can be dissolved in a solvent (usually water) to form a homogeneous solution.
- 5. A type of chemical bond where two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.
- 9. A substance that does not dissolve appreciably in a solvent, meaning it remains largely undissolved.
- 11. A measure of the amount of matter in an object or substance, typically measured in grams or kilograms.
- 12. A process in which substances (reactants) are transformed into different substances (products) through the breaking and forming of chemical bonds.
- 13. A state of matter characterized by a definite shape and volume, with particles that are closely packed in a fixed arrangement.
- 14. A positively charged ion that is formed when an atom or molecule loses one or more electrons.
- 15. A type of chemical bond formed between two oppositely charged ions, typically a metal cation and a non-metal anion, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
Down
- 1. A substance that is formed as the result of a chemical reaction.
- 2. Electrons that are not associated with a single atom or a covalent bond and are free to move throughout a structure, such as in metallic bonding.
- 4. A solution in which the solvent is water. For example, when a substance is dissolved in water, it is said to be in an aqueous solution.
- 6. A negatively charged ion that is formed when an atom or molecule gains one or more electrons.
- 7. The combining capacity of an atom or ion, determined by the number of electrons it can lose, gain, or share when forming chemical bonds.
- 8. A regular, repeating arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystalline solid structure.
- 10. The maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in a given quantity of solvent at a specific temperature, resulting in a saturated solution.
