matter
Across
- 3. Pertaining to the properties and behavior of matter and energy in the absence of chemical changes.
- 5. Compounds formed when elements combine with oxygen, often found as minerals or components of rust.
- 6. A chemical compound formed from the reaction between an acid and a base, composed of cations and anions.
- 7. A homogeneous mixture of one or more substances (solute) dissolved in a solvent.
- 9. Anything that has mass and occupies space, including solids, liquids, gases, and plasma.
- 11. Relating to factors or properties that come from outside or are not inherent to a substance or system.
- 12. A pure substance made up of only one type of atom, characterized by its unique chemical properties.
- 15. A mixture with fine particles suspended in a continuous medium, typically between a solution and a suspension in terms of particle size.
- 17. Relating to compounds or interactions involving ions, which are atoms or molecules with an electric charge.
- 19. Substances that do not contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds, typically minerals and compounds without organic structures.
Down
- 1. A combination of different substances that are not chemically bonded together.
- 2. The fourth state of matter, consisting of highly charged particles with high kinetic energy.
- 4. A mixture with visibly different components that are not evenly distributed throughout.
- 8. Related to the study of the composition, structure, properties, and changes of matter involving chemical reactions.
- 9. An element that has properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
- 10. A heterogeneous mixture in which solid particles are suspended in a liquid or gas and may settle over time.
- 13. A state of matter with a definite volume but no definite shape, where particles are free to move past one another.
- 14. A state of matter with both a definite shape and volume, where particles are closely packed together and have limited motion.
- 16. A substance that releases hydrogen ions (H+) in solution, typically with a sour taste and the ability to corrode metals.
- 18. Substances that can accept hydrogen ions (H+) in solution, often with a bitter taste and slippery feel.
