Across
- 3. A chemical reaction that absorbs energy (heat) from its surroundings.
- 4. A chemical reaction that releases energy (heat) to its surroundings.
- 6. A mixture of two or more elements, where at least one is a metal (e.g., brass, steel).
- 7. State of matter where particles are tightly packed in a fixed, regular pattern and can only vibrate.
- 10. A physical property of metals that allows them to be drawn or stretched out into long, thin wires.
- 11. A substance with a pH value of less than 7.
- 12. A vertical column in the Periodic Table containing elements with similar chemical properties.
- 14. The process of a liquid changing into a gas at the surface, occurring at temperatures below its boiling point.
- 17. A measure of how easily and quickly a substance undergoes a chemical reaction.
- 18. A factor that increases the rate of reaction by giving particles more kinetic energy, leading to more frequent and successful collisions.
- 20. A soluble base with a pH value greater than 7.
- 22. A substance made of two or more different elements chemically bonded together.
- 23. The reaction between an acid and an alkali/base to produce salt and water.
- 24. A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom that has no electrical charge.
- 25. Two or more substances that are mixed together but not chemically joined.
- 26. A material (usually a metal) that allows electricity or heat to flow through it easily.
Down
- 1. A positively charged subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom.
- 2. The tiny, dense center of an atom containing protons and neutrons.
- 5. A negatively charged subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom.
- 8. A chemical substance that changes color to show whether a solution is acidic or alkaline.
- 9. The change of state from a gas to a liquid when energy is removed (cooling).
- 11. The smallest unit of an element that cannot be broken down by chemical means.
- 13. State of matter where particles are far apart, move rapidly in all directions, and easily fill any container.
- 15. A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being used up or permanently changed in the process.
- 16. A horizontal row in the Periodic Table.
- 19. A pure substance made of only one type of atom.
- 21. The event where two or more reactant particles crash into each other, which is required for a reaction to occur.
