Across
- 4. The elements in group 17. They're really reactive (they vigorously gain electrons to complete the octet)
- 7. compound A compound containing only two elements
- 9. equation The recipe that describes what you need to do to make a reaction take place.
- 13. A molecule containing (only) carbon and hydrogen.
- 15. earth metals Group II on the periodic table.
- 16. The electrode in which reduction occurs. Reduction is when a compound gains electrons.
- 18. When a process releases energy.
- 19. metals Group I on the periodic table.
- 20. The substance(s) created (produced) in a chemical reaction.
- 22. dissolved in water
- 23. A vertical column on the periodic table. Elements in the same group tend to have the same properties. These are also called "families."
Down
- 1. When the maximum amount of solute is dissolved in a liquid (for a given amount and temperature of the liquid).
- 2. A measurement of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system.
- 3. point The boiling temperature of a substance when the pressure is 1.00 atm.
- 5. When a solid changes directly into a gas. Dry ice (solid CO2) does this.
- 6. An organic molecule containing an -OH group
- 8. When a process absorbs energy from its surroundings
- 10. When you make a bigger molecule from two or more smaller ones.
- 11. When a molecule has water molecules attached to it.
- 12. Changing a liquid to a gas. This happens even when the liquid is below its boiling temperature — “all liquids vaporize”
- 14. contains more than one atom; often refers to polyatomic ions.
- 17. number The apparent charge on an atom when it’s in a compound.
- 20. The state of a compound (solid, liquid, or gas)
- 21. This is where the electrons in an atom live – regions of high probability of finding electrons.
