SCIENCE CROSSWORDA
Across
- 4. A theory stating that all matter is made of particles in constant motion.
- 7. The phase change from gas to liquid when cooled, often seen as water droplets on glass.
- 17. The process where liquid moves up narrow tubes, helping plants absorb water.
- 18. The process where a liquid loses heat and turns into a solid.
- 19. A state of matter with no fixed shape or volume, with particles moving rapidly.
- 23. A solid with no definite structure, like glass or wax.
- 24. A solid with free-moving electrons, making it a good conductor of electricity and heat.
- 25. A reaction where a new substance forms, like burning wood into ash.
- 26. A liquid’s resistance to flow; thicker substances like honey have high viscosity.
- 27. A change in appearance, like cutting paper, without forming a new substance.
- 28. The attraction between molecules of the same substance, like water forming droplets.
- 29. How easily a substance evaporates; alcohol has high volatility.
- 30. A solid with a structured, repeating atomic pattern, like salt or diamonds.
Down
- 1. A type of solid with weak intermolecular forces, making it soft with low melting points.
- 2. A state of matter at near absolute zero where particles act as a single quantum entity.
- 3. When a solid turns directly into gas, like dry ice vaporizing.
- 5. A solid held together by strong electrostatic forces, like table salt.
- 6. Scientist who developed atomic theory, proposing that all matter is made of indivisible atoms.
- 8. The process where a liquid turns into gas when heated to its boiling point.
- 9. The force that creates a "skin" on a liquid’s surface, allowing insects to walk on water.
- 10. When a solid absorbs heat and changes into a liquid.
- 11. The attraction between different substances, like water sticking to glass.
- 12. The process where a gas turns directly into a solid, like frost forming.
- 13. A slow process where a liquid turns into gas at its surface without boiling.
- 14. The temperature and pressure at which gas and liquid states become indistinguishable.
- 15. The force exerted by a liquid’s vapor in a closed container, affecting boiling points.
- 16. The curved surface of a liquid in a narrow container due to adhesion.
- 20. A state of matter with a fixed shape and volume due to closely packed particles.
- 21. A transition between states of matter, such as melting or freezing.
- 22. A state of matter with ionized particles, found in stars and neon signs.
