Across
- 5. the mass of an element's atom
- 6. anything that takes up space and has weight
- 7. when atoms of two substances connect to each other to make a compound
- 8. an element that is not magnetic, malleable, or ductile, and conducts electricity poorly or not at all
- 12. the chart we use to display all 118 known elements in the universe
- 18. a substance formed when the atoms of two or more elements bond
- 19. a subatomic particle that has no charge and makes up a nucleus
- 21. a property of metal; means that this substance can be flattened into sheets without breaking
- 22. when two or more substances come together without any bonding or reaction (for example, air or sea water)
- 23. the center of an atom
- 24. a pure substance made of only one type of atom
- 27. an element that is magnetic, malleable, ductile, and conducts electricity
Down
- 1. a subatomic particle that has a positive charge and makes up a nucleus
- 2. a mixture with different consistency (easier to tell the different components apart)
- 3. a property of an element; how good it is at allowing electricity to pass through it
- 4. happens when substances come together and create a brand new substance, changing at an atomic level (usually results in an explosion or a change in temperature or color)
- 9. a subatomic particle that is negatively charged and revolves around the nucleus
- 10. the number of protons and electrons in the atom of an element
- 11. an element with properties of both a metal and a nonmetal
- 13. a property of an element; does it attract or repel other materials?
- 14. a property of metal; means that this substance can be stretched into wire without breaking
- 15. particle that makes up matter and is made up of different atoms
- 16. changes the way a substance looks but does not change the atoms (for example, breaking a pencil in half or melting an ice cube)
- 17. a mixture with a similar consistency (hard to tell the different components apart)
- 20. a particle that makes up all matter and is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons
- 25. a property of an element; the temperature at which it changes from solid to liquid
- 26. any of the elements in the 18th group of the periodic table (such as helium or carbon), which rarely react but glow when exposed to energy
