Across
- 1. Weighted average of all the isotopes of a particular element; number shown on periodic table; it is closest to the mass number of the most common isotope for the element
- 8. number of protons in an atom; identifies the element; periodic table is arranged by this number
- 9. tells what elements and how many of each element are in a unit of that compound
- 10. starting substances
- 13. a change that affects the actual substance. Something new is formed
- 14. vertical columns on the periodic table that indicate the number of valence electrons an atom has
- 16. chemical reactions that release energy as heat
- 19. atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons
- 20. two or more substances physically mixed together
- 21. the mass of a substance per unit volume
- 25. nonmetals that gain electrons and become negatively charged
- 26. substances are not eve h. Physical Properties - properties that can be observed directly or measured with a tool without changing the chemical make-up of the substance
- 30. the charge on an ion
- 31. compound formed when 2 or more elements bond covalently.
- 34. simplest form of matter from which more complex substances are made (listed on the PT)
- 36. substances used to slow down a chemical reaction by raising the activation energy
- 37. two or more atoms chemically bonded to one another in a fixed proportion
Down
- 2. all particles in matter are identical (fixed composition)
- 3. properties that can only be observed by changing the chemical makeup of the substance à New substance is formed
- 4. chemical reactions that release energy
- 5. average kinetic energy of the particles of matter or how fast the particles are moving
- 6. matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical change
- 7. components are evenly distributed out on a microscopic level; aka: Solution
- 11. number of protons & neutrons in an atom
- 12. force that holds atoms together in a compound
- 15. an insoluble compound that comes out of solution
- 17. the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a certain amount of solvent at a specified temperature.
- 18. substance that speeds a reaction up without being permanently changed by lowering the activation energy
- 22. the total energy (KE & PE) of a material’s particles evenly spread out
- 23. horizontal rows on the periodic table that indicate the number of energy levels an atom has in its electron cloud
- 24. a change that affects only the physical properties of matter
- 27. chemical reactions that absorb energy as heat
- 28. charged atom that has gained or lost electrons (atoms that lose electrons are positively charged and called cations; atoms that gain electrons are negatively charged and called anions)
- 29. substances that are formed
- 32. metals that lose electrons and become positively charged
- 33. anything that takes up space and has mass
- 35. chemical reactions that absorb energy
