U11 Vocabulary-Reactions & Bonding
Across
- 2. A substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed or permanently changed.
- 3. A solid in which the particles are arranged in a regular, repeating three-dimensional pattern.
- 5. A combination of chemical symbols and subscripts that shows the types and numbers of atoms in a compound.
- 10. A chemical reaction in which the positive ions of two ionic compounds exchange places to form two new compounds.
- 14. The numbers placed in front of chemical formulas in a balanced equation to show the relative amounts of reactants and products.
- 16. A chemical reaction in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen, producing heat and light (usually a hydrocarbon + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O).
- 19. A symbolic representation of a chemical reaction using formulas and symbols for reactants and products.
- 21. The force of attraction between positively charged metal ions and the surrounding sea of mobile valence electrons.
- 22. The energy stored in the chemical bonds of substances; released or absorbed during chemical reactions.
Down
- 1. The mass in grams of one mole of a substance; numerically equal to the atomic or formula mass in amu.
- 3. A chemical bond formed by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms.
- 4. A chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances.
- 6. A chemical reaction that absorbs heat energy from the surroundings (feels cold; ΔH is positive).
- 7. A chemical bond formed by the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (usually a metal and a nonmetal).
- 8. A chemical reaction that releases heat energy to the surroundings (feels hot; ΔH is negative).
- 9. The force of attraction that holds atoms or ions together in a compound.
- 11. A diagram that shows the valence electrons of an atom or molecule as dots around the symbol (also called a Lewis dot structure).
- 12. A negatively charged ion formed when an atom or group of atoms gains one or more electrons.
- 13. A positively charged ion formed when an atom or group of atoms loses one or more electrons.
- 15. The smallest unit of a covalent compound that retains the properties of that compound; a group of atoms held together by covalent bonds.
- 17. An atom or group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge due to the loss or gain of electrons.
- 18. A mixture of two or more metals (or a metal and a nonmetal) that has metallic properties.
- 20. The state in which the forward and reverse rates of a reversible chemical reaction are equal, so concentrations remain constant.
- 21. The SI unit for amount of substance; contains 6.02 × 10²³ particles (Avogadro’s number).
