Across
  1. 4. The ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent, usually expressed as the maximum amount that can dissolve in a specific volume at a given temperature.
  2. 6. An electron in the outermost shell of an atom that determines its chemical properties and bonding behavior.
  3. 7. The vertical columns in the periodic table, where elements have similar chemical properties due to the same number of valence electrons.
  4. 8. A group of highly reactive elements in Group 1 of the periodic table, including lithium, sodium, and potassium.
  5. 10. Elements that lack metallic properties, generally poor conductors, and can be gases, liquids, or brittle solids, including oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.
  6. 13. A Russian chemist who created the first widely accepted periodic table by arranging elements based on atomic mass and properties.
  7. 14. The state in which a solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature and pressure.
  8. 18. The substance that is dissolved in a solution.
  9. 19. Elements with properties intermediate between metals and non-metals, found along the "stair-step" line on the periodic table, including silicon and boron.
  10. 20. A pure substance consisting of only one type of atom that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.
  11. 22. The process of breaking down rocks and minerals into smaller pieces by physical, chemical, or biological means.
  12. 23. A solution that has a high amount of solute relative to the amount of solvent.
  13. 25. A group of highly reactive non-metal elements in Group 17 of the periodic table, including fluorine, chlorine, and iodine.
  14. 26. The breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions, often involving water, acids, or gases, leading to changes in mineral composition.
Down
  1. 1. A group of elements in Group 2 of the periodic table that are reactive but less so than alkali metals, including magnesium and calcium.
  2. 2. The mechanical breakdown of rocks into smaller fragments without changing their chemical composition, caused by factors like temperature changes, freezing and thawing, or abrasion.
  3. 3. A solution that has a low amount of solute relative to the amount of solvent.
  4. 5. A substance composed of two or more different elements chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio.
  5. 9. A set of metallic elements located between the transition metals and metalloids, generally softer and having lower melting points, including aluminum, tin, and lead.
  6. 11. A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, consisting of a solute dissolved in a solvent.
  7. 12. A large group of metallic elements in the center of the periodic table (Groups 3-12) known for variable oxidation states and forming colorful compounds.
  8. 14. A solution that contains more solute than it can normally hold at a given temperature, often achieved by changing conditions like temperature or pressure.
  9. 15. The horizontal rows in the periodic table, where elements are arranged by increasing atomic number and share the same number of electron shells.
  10. 16. A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, consisting of a solute dissolved in a solvent.
  11. 17. A group of inert, non-reactive elements in Group 18 of the periodic table, including helium, neon, and argon.
  12. 21. The process of transporting weathered rock and soil from one location to another by natural agents such as water, wind, ice, or gravity.
  13. 24. The substance that dissolves the solute to form a solution.
  14. 27. A combination of two or more substances that are physically blended but not chemically bonded, which can be separated by physical means.
