Quarter 2 Science Vocab Words
Across
- 1. A substance formed when two or more elements are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio, with properties different from those of its constituent elements.
- 3. A tabular arrangement of elements based on their atomic number, electron configuration, and chemical properties, organized into rows (periods) and columns (groups).
- 4. A substance composed of atoms with the same number of protons, characterized by its unique chemical properties and represented by its atomic symbol.
- 7. The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy in a system; it represents the energy associated with the motion and position of objects.
- 9. A process in which one or more substances (reactants) are converted into different substances (products) through the rearrangement of atoms.
- 12. A group of atoms held together by covalent bonds, representing the smallest unit of a compound that retains its chemical properties.
- 13. The basic building block of matter, consisting of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, with electrons orbiting around it.
- 14. The transfer of thermal energy between objects due to a temperature difference; it flows from regions of higher temperature to regions of lower temperature.
- 16. Material or substance used to reduce the transfer of heat, sound, or electricity; it helps to maintain temperature and conserve energy.

- 2. The energy stored in an object due to its position or state, such as gravitational potential energy or elastic potential energy.
- 5. A symbolic representation of the composition of a compound, indicating the types and numbers of atoms present in a molecule using element symbols and subscripts.
- 6. The energy possessed by an object due to its motion; it depends on the mass and velocity of the object.
- 8. The force of attraction that holds atoms together in a molecule or compound, formed by the sharing, transfer, or attraction of electrons.
- 10. A type of chemical bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms, resulting in the formation of a molecular compound.
- 11. A type of chemical bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of ions with opposite charges that are attracted to each other.
- 15. The ability to do work or cause change; it exists in various forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, electrical, and chemical energy.
