Chemistry

3. the major component in a solution
6. when two nonmetals combine, they form this type of bond
13. can cause a reduction in fish populations
14. this can be increased when stirring, heating, or increasing the surface area of a solid or liquid
15. a family of nonmetals, contain 7 valence electrons, and are highly reactive
17. bonds between metals and non metals, where valence electrons are donated
20. water is considered to be this, because it contains polar covalent bonds
21. determine the reactivity and chemical properties of elements
22. when an element has the same number of protons and electrons, but different numbers of neutrons
23. the molecules in this state of matter are packed tightly together and have low kinetic energy

1. when this layer is depleted, it can cause skin cancer
2. donate two valence electrons
4. an example of an endothermic reaction
5. states that matter is neither created nor destroyed, but rearranged
7. a reaction where the potential energy increases because the energy is absorbed
8. causes high surface tension in water
9. the ability to float
10. a type of reaction that occurs on the Sun; two nuclei are combined together, producing Helium
11. a type of reaction that produces harmful radioactive waste when the nucleus of Uranium is split apart
12. the state of being thick, sticky, and semifluid in consistency
16. this family group contains a full octet, or valence shell; completely stable
18. a reaction where the potential energy decreases
19. the minor component in a mixture
