Across
  1. 3. created the cloud chamber
  2. 4. negatively charged, orbits the nucleus
  3. 5. created a periodic table based on common chemical properties
  4. 7. enter our atmosphere from outer space and trigger a chain of particle interactions
  5. 9. accelerate ordinary stable particles (e, p) from rest to large kinetic energies and smash them into the other matter
  6. 11. means "indivisible"
  7. 12. experimented with “neutral” cathode rays
  8. 14. makes up protons and neutrons
Down
  1. 1. produces energetic beams which allow us to probe matter at its most fundamental level
  2. 2. positively charged in the nucleus
  3. 6. found a nucleus in the atom by firing alpha particles at gold and observing them bounce back
  4. 8. divided matter into four (five) elements
  5. 10. discovered the neutron
  6. 13. no charge in the nucleus
