Across
- 4. a black coating of silver sulfide that is produced when silver reacts with sulfur in food or the atmosphere; chemical formula Ag2S
- 5. a green coating of copper hydroxide that is produced when copper reacts with moisture, carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere; chemical formula Cu(OH)2
- 7. the process that breaks down large molecules in food into smaller ones that can be absorbed by the body
- 10. a term used to describe materials that store carbon in their structures
- 13. highly combustible chemicals
- 14. combustion that occurs when there is plenty of oxygen; it produces carbon dioxide and water vapour
- 15. respiration a reaction that uses oxygen to release energy stores in glucose
- 17. structures on roots and stems that allow gas exchange to take place
- 19. 10 hydrated iron oxide; chemical formula Fe2O3.H2O
- 20. a chemical reaction that releases energy
- 21. a helper chemical that speeds up chemical reactions in living things
- 22. a chemical reaction that absorbs energy
- 24. a chemical equation that has the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow
- 25. the movement of chemicals from an area of high concentration an an area of low concentration
- 27. endothermic reaction that takes place in green plants
- 28. chemicals that take part in a chemical reaction; they are written on the left-hand side of the arrow
- 29. rain that has acids such as nitric acid and sulfric acid dissolved in it
Down
- 1. a series of chemical reactions that releases energy from glucose it takes place in the mitochondria inside cells
- 2. a way of protecting aluminium from corrosion, by deliberately creating a layer of aluminium oxide over it
- 3. equation simple written description of what is happening in the reaction
- 6. chemicals produced in a chemical reaction; they are written on the right-hand side of the arrow
- 8. a rapid reaction with oxygen that releases energy in the form of heat and/or light
- 9. atoms are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction; they can only be rearranged
- 11. a reaction of an acid with a base, forming a salt and water
- 12. a simple sugar produced by photosynthesis; chemical formula C6H12O6
- 16. combustion that occurs when oxygen is limited; produces carbon and carbon monoxide, and does not release as much heat or light as complete combustion
- 18. the term commonly used for sodium chloride
- 23. the green chemical found in the chloroplasts of green plants that traps the Sun's energy for photosynthesis
- 26. the breakdown of metals due to their reaction with other chemicals
