Across
- 2. description of how a substance interacts with other substances, such as acids;chemical properties are observable only when a chemical change occurs
- 3. combination of symbols that represent a compound; the formula identifies the elements in the compound and the amount of each element
- 6. chemical reaction that releases energy
- 10. group 2 elements in the periodic table; their reactivity is not as strong as that of the alkali metals
- 12. principle that matter is not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction; the mass of the products always equals the mass of the reactants
- 13. the smallest part of an element that is representative of that element; a neutral particle made up of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, and in which the number of electrons equals the number of protons
- 14. change of state from a gas to a solid
- 17. amount of mass in a given volume of a substance
- 19. reaction that takes place when two or more substances react to form new substances
- 22. number of protons in the nucleus of one atom of an element
- 23. change of state from a gas to a liquid
Down
- 1. chemical reaction that takes place in cells; food (sugar) reacts with oxygen to produce energy, water, and carbon dioxide
- 4. chemical reaction that occurs when oxygen reacts with a substance to form a new substance and give off energy
- 5. substance that helps a chemical reaction to proceed more quickly
- 7. cloudy mixture in which tiny particles of one substance are held within another and particles cannot be separated out from the other substance
- 8. chemical combination of two or more elements in a specific ratio
- 9. mass of one atom of an element calculated from the total number of protons,neutrons, and electrons of that atom; measured in atomic mass units (amu)
- 11. chemical reaction that absorbs energy
- 15. catalyst involved in chemical reactions in living things
- 16. change that results when two or more substances react to create a different substance or substances; the new substances have completely different properties from the original ones
- 18. description of a solid that can be stretched into a long wire
- 19. ability of a substance to conduct electricity or heat
- 20. group 1 elements in the periodic table, not including hydrogen; the most reactive of the metals
- 21. slow chemical change that occurs when oxygen in the air reacts with a metal
