Across
- 2. Physical or chemical property - If iron is exposed to air and water, it can rust.
- 5. A heterogeneous mixture where large particles of one substance are spread throughout another substance and will settle to the bottom over time.
- 6. A solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent.
- 10. A substance that dissolves in a solvent.
- 12. The study of matter and how it changes
- 14. The amount of matter in a designated amount of space
- 15. The ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance
- 17. The measure of how much matter is in an object
- 20. The liquid in which a solute is dissolved.
- 21. Anything that has mass and takes up space
- 25. A heterogeneous mixture where very tiny particles of one substance are spread evenly throughout another substance, but they do not dissolve or settle out.
- 26. The force that causes objects to attract or repel each other without touching
- 28. Two or more atoms (same or different) bonded together
- 30. The ability of a substance to react with oxygen

Down
- 1. The ability of a substance to be drawn into thin wires

- 23. Mixtures that have a uniform composition and the same properties throughout.
- 24. A process used to separate a solid from a liquid by pouring the mixture through a filter.
