Chemistry Vocabulary

4. the formation of a link between two atoms as a result of the interaction of their valence electrons.}
6. a form of matter consisting only of atoms of the same atomic number.}
7. a state of matter in which material is non-fluid, has definite volume and shape, and maintains a near-constant density.}
10. a fundamental subatomic particle in the atomic nucleus that is electrically neutral and about equal in mass to the mass of one proton.}
14. a mixture of a metal and at least one other element, often another metal; also known as a solid solution. }
15. a fundamental subatomic particle with a single positive electrical charge, found in the atomic nucleus.}

1. study of matter and energy and the interactions between them
2. a state of matter in which material is fluid, has definite volume but indefinite shape, and maintains a relatively constant density.
3. a compound that can relinquish one or more hydrogen ions (Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory) or that possesses vacant atomic orbitals to interact with electron-rich materials (Lewis acid-base theory).}
5. a state of matter in which material is fluid, has indefinite volume and shape, and is of variable density due to its ability to expand to fill any available space.}
8. an atom, molecule, or neutral radical that has either lost or gained electrons and is therefore electrically charged.}
9. the ability of a particular substance, or solute, to dissolve in a particular solvent at a given temperature and pressure.}
11. a fundamental subatomic particle with a single negative electrical charge, found in a large, diffuse cloud around the nucleus.}
12. (An atom is the smallest unit of elemental matter that retains and defines the specific properties of that material.)
13. a compound that can relinquish one or more hydroxide ions (Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory) or that possesses lone pairs of electrons that can interact with electron-poor materials (Lewis acid-base theory).
