Properties of Matter
Across
- 3. Anything that has mass and takes up space.
- 4. The temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas.
- 8. A state of matter with a definite volume but no definite shape, where particles can move past each other.
- 9. Two or more atoms chemically bonded together, which can be elements or compounds.
- 13. The amount of space an object or substance occupies, measured in liters or cubic centimeters.
- 14. The temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid.
- 16. A characteristic of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the substance, such as color, density, or melting point.
- 17. The physical form in which matter exists, including solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
- 19. A pure substance made of only one kind of atom, found on the periodic table.
- 20. The smallest unit of an element that retains its chemical properties.
Down
- 1. A high-energy state of matter found in stars and lightning, where atoms lose electrons.
- 2. The amount of mass in a given volume of a substance, calculated as Density = Mass ÷ Volume.
- 5. A change that affects the form of a substance but not its chemical composition, such as melting, freezing, or breaking.
- 6. The temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid.
- 7. A substance made of two or more different elements that are chemically bonded together.
- 10. A state of matter with a definite shape and volume, where particles are tightly packed.
- 11. A change that creates a new substance with different properties, such as burning or rusting.
- 12. A characteristic that describes how a substance can change into a different substance, such as flammability or reactivity.
- 15. A state of matter with no definite shape or volume, where particles move freely and spread apart.
- 18. The amount of matter in an object, usually measured in grams or kilograms.
