9. is any of a class of natural or synthetic substances composed of very large molecules.
13. is the chemical breakdown of a compound due to a reaction with water
14. is the smallest part of a substance that cannot be broken down chemically.
16. is the creation of larger molecules from smaller monomers where a water molecule is released
18. is a thing that is composed of two or more separate elements; a mixture

1. is an uncharged elementary particle that has a mass nearly equal to that of the proton and is present in all known atomic nuclei except the hydrogen nucleus.
2. is a biomolecule consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
5. is a nitrogenous organic compound that has large molecules composed of one or more long chains or amino acids and is an essential part of all living things
