Across
- 2. A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means
- 5. The electrons in an atom's outermost electron shell
- 8. one of the three subatomic particles that make up an atom
- 9. a mixture in which the composition is not uniform throughout the mixture
- 14. a subatomic particle with a positive electrical charge
- 15. equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom or the number of electrons in an electrically neutral atom
- 16. the membrane-enclosed organelle within a cell that contains the chromosomes
- 18. the point at which materials changes from a solid to a liquid
- 19. neither solids nor gases
- 21. organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic number
- 22. the total mass of particles of matter in an atom
Down
- 1. a row of chemical elements
- 3. a negatively charged subatomic particle that can be either bound to an atom or free (not bound)
- 4. a substance that is in a gaseous, or vaporous, state of matter
- 6. a material formed by chemically bonding two or more chemical elements
- 7. solid, liquid, gas, and plasma
- 10. firm and stable in shape; not liquid or fluid
- 11. the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to the pressure of the gas above it
- 12. a group of elements that have certain similar properties and can form compounds with some similar properties
- 13. a mixture in which the composition is uniform throughout the mixture
- 17. capable of being dissolved in a liquid
- 18. two or more substances that are mixed together but not chemically combined and that may vary in proportion
- 20. a particle of matter that uniquely defines a chemical element
