The Structure of the Atom
Across
- 5. ray of radiation traveling from the cathode to the anode (2 wds)
- 9. high energy radiation that has no charge and no mass (2 wds)
- 10. atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
- 11. states that all matter is composed of atoms (no apostrophe, 3 wds)
- 12. the smallest particle of an element that retains the properties of that element
- 13. radiation deflected toward the positively charged plate (2 wds)
Down
- 1. process whereby some substances spontaneously emit radiation
- 2. the center-most part of the atom where the protons & neutrons are contained
- 3. radiation deflected toward the negatively charged poles (2 wds)
- 4. process (not requiring energy) by which unstable nuclei lose energy (no apostrophe,2 wds)
- 6. the weighted average mass of an element's isotopes (2 wds)
- 7. the rays & particles emitted by radioactive material
- 8. equal to 1/2 the mass of a carbon-12 atom (3 wds)
