Across
- 2. an atom that has the same number of protons ( or same atomic number) as other atoms of the same element do but has different number of neutrons ( and thus has a different atomic mass)
- 3. One of the elements of group 17 of the periodic table
- 7. an element that is shiny and that conducts heat and electricity well
- 9. metal-harder, denser, stronger, and have higher melting points than alkali metals. One of the elements of group 2 of the periodic table
- 11. an element or compound that conducts electric current better than an insulator does but not as well as a conductor does
- 14. an atom, radical, or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons and has a negative or positive charge
- 15. a horizontal row of elements in the periodic table
- 16. the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atoms
- 17. A vertical column of elements in the periodic table, elements in a group share chemical properties.
- 19. subatomic particle that has a negative charge
- 21. a region in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons
- 23. an electron that is found in the outermost shell of an atom that determines the atom’s chemical properties
Down
- 1. an element of that conducts heat and electricity poorly
- 4. the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
- 5. a unit of mass that describes the mass of an atom or molecule; it is exactly ½ the mass of a carbon atom with a mass number 12.
- 6. an atoms central region, which is made up of protons and neutrons
- 8. metal One of the metals that can use the inner shell before using the outer shell to bond
- 10. The SI base unit used to measure the amount of a substance whose number of particles is the same as the number of atoms of carbon in exactly 12 g of carbon -12
- 12. a subatomic particle that has a positive charge and that is located in the nucleus of an atom.
- 13. gas One of the elements of group 18 of the periodic table
- 18. a unit or quantum of light
- 20. metal- soft and shiny and reacts violently with water. One of the elements of group 1 of the periodic table
- 22. A subatomic particle that has no charge and that is located in the nucleus of an atom
