- 5. A reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen, typically producing heat and light.
- 10. A chemical reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen, releasing energy in the form of heat and light, often producing carbon dioxide and water.
- 13. The process by which a gas turns directly into a solid, bypassing the liquid state.
- 14. The ability of a material to be hammered or pressed into thin sheets without breaking or cracking.
- 15. The tendency of a substance to undergo chemical reactions with other substances.
- 17. A type of reaction or process that absorbs heat from its surroundings.
- 18. Referring to a compound consisting of two elements.
- 19. The ability of a substance to catch fire and burn easily.
- 22. A chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react to form water and a salt, neutralizing each other's properties.
