- 9. a group of two or more atoms that are linked together by chemical bonds; the smallest particle that characterizes a compound.
- 10. the branch of science that deals with the study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter and the changes that matter undergoes
- 11. the smallest particle of an element that retains the characteristics of the element
- 12. a reaction in which the products have a lower heat energy content than the reactants
- 14. a grouping of elemental symbols which tells not only what types of atoms compose the compound but also the number of each type of atom in one molecule of the compound
- 15. a class of matter that is homogeneous, of definite composition, and has its own unique properties which make it different from every other substance, it may either be an element or a compound.
- 18. the reproducibility or repeatability of a measurement
