Midterm review
Across
- 2. solution pH of 7
- 5. specific heat Water resists temperature changes, helping stabilize environments
- 8. Positively charged particle in the nucleus
- 11. method steps Observation → Question → Hypothesis → Experiment → Data → Conclusion → Communicate
- 13. Releases H⁺ in solution; pH < 7
- 14. Water molecules stick to each other due to hydrogen bonding
- 15. number Number of protons in an atom
- 16. bond Weak attraction between hydrogen and an electronegative atom (O or N); not a true bond
- 17. Negatively charged particle outside the nucleus
- 20. variable The factor that is measured or observed in response to changes
- 21. bond Electrons are shared between atoms (e.g., H₂O)
Down
- 1. Maintains stable pH in biological systems
- 3. solvent Water dissolves many polar and ionic substances
- 4. group The group that receives the independent variable
- 6. bond Electrons are transferred between atoms (e.g., NaCl)
- 7. Accepts H⁺ or releases OH⁻; pH > 7
- 9. number Number of protons + neutrons in an atom
- 10. Water molecules stick to other surfaces
- 12. variable The factor changed or manipulated in an experiment
- 18. group The group that does not receive the treatment; used for comparison
- 19. Neutral particle in the nucleus
