Across
  1. 3. the smallest significant particle in an atom; has a negative electric charge and orbits around the nucleus
  2. 6. this bonding is between two (generally dissimilar) elements
  3. 7. the number of protons contained in an atom
  4. 8. a variation of an element based on the number of neutrons in its nucleus
  5. 10. two or more elements combined chemically
  6. 11. the central core of an atom
  7. 13. the smallest form of matter (which cannot be cut into different pieces)
  8. 19. a form of matter that does not have a definite shape but has a definite volume; conforms to the shape of its container
  9. 20. a unit of measurement for the mass of an atom
  10. 21. substance that has mass and takes up space
  11. 22. this type of electron is found in the outermost (usually incompletely filled) orbit of an atom

Down
  1. 1. family of particles that experience no strong forces
  2. 2. a variation of an atom or atoms based on the loss or gain of an electron; changes the charge of an atom
  3. 4. the total average number of protons and neutrons in an atom
  4. 5. two or more elements that are combined physically rather than chemically
  5. 9. this bonding is between two (generally similar) elements
  6. 12. the science of materials that make up the universe--what they are made of, how they interact, and how they change
  7. 14. one of the principal particles of an atom; has no electric charge and found in the nucleus
  8. 15. a subatomic particle that makes up protons and neutron
  9. 16. a specific form of matter composed of only one type of atom

  11. 18. a group of two or more atoms linked by a chemical bond
  12. 23. an atom that has gained an electron
  13. 24. a hot gas whose matter is broken into charged particles; exists in areas of extreme heat, like the center of stars
  14. 25. a form of matter that has a definite shape and volume
