Down
- 1. Positively charged subatomic particle in an atom
- 5. Molecules that have bonds between two different types of atom.
- 6. Neutrally charged subatomic particle in an atom
- 11. Number An atom’s number of protons – and therefore electrons, as they are equal.
- 12. Point the temperature at which a solid will turn to a liquid and stay in that state
- 14. A lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds.
- 16. Property A characteristic of matter that can be observed and measured without changing the chemical identity of the sample. (Ex: color, hardness, boiling point)
- 17. Property A characteristic or behavior of a substance that may be observed when it undergoes a chemical change or reaction (Ex. flammability, toxicity, chemical stability)
- 18. Point the temperature at which the substance transitions from a liquid to the gaseous phase
- 21. a common element, a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas essential to living organisms, being taken up by animals, highly reactive nonmetal
