Chemistry Puzzle
Across
- 2. A chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react to produce salt and water
- 3. The force exerted per unit area on a surface
- 10. An incredibly small, negatively charged subatomic particle
- 11. A positively charged subatomic particle
- 12. The first column (Group 1) elements in the periodic table. They are very reactive metals that easily lose one electron to become positively charged ions
- 14. A set of four numbers (n, l, ml, and ms) that define the energy level, orbital shape, and spin of an electron within an atom
- 16. Letters used in chemical equations to show the physical state of a substance (s - solid, l - liquid, g - gas, aq - aqueous)
- 18. Whole numbers in a chemical equation that represent the relative quantities of reactants and products involved in the reaction
- 20. The relative amount of a specific isotope found within a sample of a particular element
- 22. A concentration unit indicating the number of moles of a solute dissolved in one liter of solution
- 23. Difference of electronegativity within a molecule. This arises because some atoms attract electrons more strongly than others
Down
- 1. The subatomic particles occupying the outermost energy level of an atom. These are primarily responsible for chemical bonding with other atoms
- 4. The specific arrangement of electrons in the various energy levels and orbitals of an atom
- 5. The amount of solute (dissolved substance) present in a given amount of solvent or solution
- 6. The unreactive elements in Group 18 of the periodic table
- 7. The elements in Group 17 of the periodic table
- 8. A positively charged ion created when an atom loses one or more electrons
- 9. The amount of three-dimensional space occupied by a substance
- 11. A chart that organizes elements based on their atomic number (number of protons), electron configuration, and repeating chemical properties
- 13. Variations of an element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons in their nucleus
- 15. A charged ion formed by the covalent bonding of two or more different atoms
- 17. A horizontal row in the periodic table
- 19. The unit of temperature on the thermodynamic temperature scale
- 21. The fundamental unit of matter
