Chemistry Vocab Review - Semester 1
Across
- 2. atoms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons
- 4. a bond between a nonmetal and a nonmetal
- 5. a bond in a covalent compound where 2 pairs of electrons are shared
- 6. elements that are generally solid, shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity
- 9. The rows in a periodic table that classify the elements by the number of atomic shells
- 15. any substance that cannot be broken into simpler substances
- 17. the smallest unit of matter
- 19. a measure of the size of an atom, and is generally defined as the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron
- 20. a bond between a metal and a nonmetal
- 21. a law that states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed
- 23. columns on a periodic table that arrange the elements by the number of electrons that are in the outside shell
- 24. the transfer of thermal energy
- 27. subatomic particle that has mass but no charge
- 28. positively charged subatomic particle
Down
- 1. Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals; sometimes referred to as semiconductors
- 3. the region surrounding the nucleus that contains electrons
- 7. a bond in a covalent compound where 3 pairs of electrons are shared
- 8. the energy required to remove an electron from an atom
- 10. subatomic particle that has a negative charge
- 11. the electrons located in the outermost energy level of an atom
- 12. the tendency of an atom to attract electrons and acquire a negative charge
- 13. a law that states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed
- 14. the total kinetic energy of all the atoms or molecules of that substance
- 16. the average kinetic energy of all the atoms or molecules of that substance
- 18. elements that are generally not shiny, are usually gases or brittle solids, are not malleable, and are poor conductors of heat and electricity
- 20. an atom with an electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons
- 22. a bond in a covalent compound where only 1 pair of electrons is shared between atoms
- 25. the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the chemical properties of an element and its place in the periodic table
- 26. contains protons and neutrons
