Across
  1. 1. Substance found listed on the left-hand side of a chemical equation; present before a chemical reaction and takes part in the reaction.
  2. 3. The smallest particle of an element; the building block of matter.
  3. 4. An attraction between atoms; the result of sharing or transferring valence electrons.
  4. 6. A change in a substance that results in one or more new substances being formed; these have different physical and chemical properties than those of the original substance.
  5. 7. Process by which particles in a solution are evenly distributed throughout the solvent by "Brownian Motion."
  6. 9. The process occurring when a solute is broken into smaller pieces by and distributed within a solvent, which is the second substance.
  7. 10. A substance that produces Hydroxide ions (OH-).
  8. 13. Used for energy storage and in cell membranes of living things; A class of nonpolar organic compounds insoluble in water.
  9. 14. Substance found listed on the right-hand side of a chemical equation; it is the substance formed during a chemical reaction.
  10. 15. The tendency of energy to disperse; thus, it is less available to do its work.
  11. 16. A substance change that does not change the identity of the substance.
  12. 21. Measurement of the average speed of particles moving within a substance.
  13. 23. Organic compound comprised of elements Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen.
  14. 24. A naturally occurring catalyst; usually a protein.
  15. 26. The smallest particle of a covalently bonded compound.
  16. 27. A class of organic compounds that serve as the building blocks of proteins.
Down
  1. 2. A pure substance made of two or more elements.
  2. 3. The attraction between particles in one substance for particles in a different substance.
  3. 5. A substance that binds to an enzyme and reduces its activity; it slows a chemical reaction that the enzyme catalyzes.
  4. 8. The attraction between like particles within polar substances.
  5. 11. A substance that produces Hydrogen ions (H+).
  6. 12. A substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction; Itis not used up or affected by this reaction.
  7. 15. A pure substance with only one kind of atom.
  8. 17. A simple organic compound and a carbohydrate; It is important as a source of both energy and structure.
  9. 18. The ability to do work; It drives both physical and chemical processes necessary for life.
  10. 19. Molecules that have an uneven distribution of electrical charge; some regions are negative charge and others are positive.
  11. 20. Contains the element Carbon and is a covalently bonded compound.
  12. 22. The physical stuff that makes up the universe; occupies space and has mass.
  13. 25. A class of organic compounds that serve as building blocks for information storage of DNA and RNA molecules; has three parts.
