Across
- 6. substances that react.
- 8. heterogeneous mixtures with large, often visible solute particles that tend to settle out.
- 13. state in which for each molecule of product formed, one product molecule breaks down, releasing the reactants.
- 15. negatively charged subatomic particles with a mass of 0 amu
- 17. reaction occurs when a molecule is broken down into smaller molecules or its constituent atom.
- 18. are substances composed of two or more components physically intermixed
- 19. noble gas configuration with eight electrons on the valence shell
- 20. regions around the nucleus in which a given electron or electron pair is likely to be found most of the time
- 23. number the number of protons and electrons in a atom
- 24. when atoms or molecules combine to form a larger, more complex molecule.
- 27. reactions that release energy
- 29. similar in composition.
- 30. substances that conduct an electrical current in solution
- 32. unique substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical methods
- 33. an average of the relative weights (mass numbers) of all the isotopes of an element, taking into account their relative abundance in nature
- 35. a displacement reaction to form water and a salt.
- 36. a combination of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds
- 37. substances that increase the rate of chemical reactions without themselves becoming chemically changed or part of the product.
- 38. model of an atom in which electrons circle the nucleus like planets circle the sun
- 40. energy stored or still energy

- 46. are homogeneous mixtures with the smallest solute particles
- 48. bonds formed when valence electrons are started between atoms.
- 49. level the energy an electron has / the energy an electron has above ground state
Down
- 1. An unstable form of a chemical element that releases radiation as it breaks down and becomes more stable.
- 2. polymers of simple sugars linked together by dehydration synthesis
- 3. covalent bonds with equal sharing of electrons and charge-balanced among atoms
- 4. the simplest carbohydrates/sugar
- 5. anything that has mass and takes up space
- 7. the tendency of an atom or a functional group to attract electrons toward itself.
- 9. gain of an electron, or the loss of an oxygen, or the gain of a hydrogen
- 10. the sum of the masses of the protons and neutrons of a atom.
- 11. substance produced from reaction.
- 12. a symbol one- or two-letter chemical shorthand that represents a element
- 14. a reaction in which the conversion of reactants to products and the conversion of products to reactants occur simultaneously.
- 16. are heterogeneous mixtures, the solute particles are larger than those in true solutions, but they still do not settle out.

- 33. the basic building blocks of matter
- 34. an atom that tends to lose electrons and form positive ions in chemical reactions.
- 39. covalent bonds with unequal sharing of electrons with a slight negative charge (δ–) at one end of the molecule and, a slight positive charge (δ+) at the other end.
- 41. a structural variant of an element with the same number of protons and electrons but a different number of neutrons
- 44. proteins and other types of molecules that resists pH change on the addition of acidic or basic components.
- 45. bond formed between a metal and a non-metal
- 47. a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species where one species is oxidised and the other reduced.
