CHEMISTRY VOCAB REVIEW
Across
- 3. A stable group of two or more atoms chemically bonded together (these atoms may be identical or different)
- 6. This characteristic generally increases as you go from left to right across a period (6,4)
- 9. A pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances (e.g., oxygen)
- 11. The lightest alkali metal, known for floating on water and reacting with it
- 13. A vertical column in the periodic table where elements share similar chemical and physical properties
- 15. A substance formed when two or more elements combine chemically
- 16. Describes the pH of solutions formed by Group 1 and 2 oxides
- 17. Describes a substance that does not react easily with other chemicals
- 18. The densest noble gas, found at the bottom of Group 8
- 19. A horizontal row in the periodic table where elements show a gradual change in properties
Down
- 1. Class of elements that tend to produce acidic oxides eg. carbon dioxide
- 2. Mass per unit volume that tends to increase as you move down Group 7
- 4. The smallest unit of an element, defined by a nucleus with a specific number of protons
- 5. A combination of substances that are physically blended but not chemically bonded
- 7. Physical measure that decreases as you move down Group 1 (7,5)
- 8. These Group 2 elements form oxides that react with water to create basic solutions—name this group of metals (8,5)
- 10. A material made entirely of identical particles that shows one set of properties throughout (4,9)
- 12. This property of halogens increases as you move up group 7
- 14. A gas in group 18, 8 or 0 of the periodic table known for its low reactivity (5,3)
