Across
- 1. A reaction that releases energy to its surroundings, often resulting in an increase in temperature.
- 4. determined by the number of electrons it can gain, lose, or share to form chemical bonds with other atoms.
- 5. A reaction that absorbs energy from its surroundings, often resulting in a decrease in temperature.
- 7. The smallest unit of a chemical element that retains its unique properties.
- 11. A substance that changes colour used to detect the presence of specific substances.
- 12. A substance that donates hydrogen ions (H+) or accepts electron pairs in a chemical reaction, typically characterized by a sour taste, the ability to turn litmus paper red, and the ability to react with bases to form salts.
- 13. A chemical reaction between an acid and a base, resulting in the formation of a salt and water, and typically characterized by the neutralization of acidic and basic properties.
- 14. The formation of a solid (precipitate) from a solution due to a chemical reaction between dissolved substances.
- 16. A substance that accepts hydrogen ions (H+) or donates electron pairs in a chemical reaction, typically characterized by a bitter taste, a slippery feel, the ability to turn litmus paper blue, and the ability to react with acids to form salts.
Down
- 2. of Mass The principle that states that the total mass of a closed system remains constant during a chemical reaction or physical change.
- 3. A substance that undergoes a chemical reaction and is consumed or transformed to produce one or more new substances called products.
- 6. A rapid chemical reaction between a fuel (such as a hydrocarbon) and an oxidant (usually oxygen) that produces heat and light.
- 8. Bond A type of chemical bond in which two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons
- 9. Change A process in which one or more substances are transformed into different substances with distinct chemical properties. It usually involves the breaking and formation of chemical bonds.
- 10. A substance that is formed as a result of a chemical reaction.
- 14. change A change in the physical properties of a substance, such as its shape, size, or state, without a change in its chemical composition.
- 15. Bond A type of chemical bond that forms between two atoms when one or more electrons are transferred from one atom to another
