- 2. hard, but can break or shatter easily
- 5. earth metals the elements occupying group IIA of the periodic table, they are reactive, electropositive, divalent metals, and form basic oxides which react with water to form comparatively insoluble hydroxides
- 8. a material which contains moveable electric charges
- 10. metals any set of metallic elements occupying a central block on the periodic table. Chemically they show variable valence and a strong tendency to form coordination compounds, and many of their compounds are colored
- 11. mass the mass of an atom if a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units
- 14. a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei with a positive charge equal and opposite to an electrons charge`
- 15. symbol the abbreviations for a chemical element
- 16. any of the series of metallic elements from actinium to lawrencium on the periodic table, they are radioactive, the heavier members being extremely unstable and not of natural occurrence post
- 17. an element whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals or semiconductors
- 18. Mendeleev Creator of the periodic table
- 19. a stable subatomic particle with a negative charge, found in all atoms and acts as the primary carrier of electricity in solids
- 20. gaseous elements on the periodic table
Down
- 1. metals the elements occupying group 1A of the periodic table, they are very reactive, electropositive, monovalent metals forming strongly alkaline hydroxides
- 3. any of the series of fifteen metallic elements that form lanthanum to lutetium in the periodic table
- 4. a substance whose atoms all have the same number of protons
- 6. an element or substance that is not a metal
- 7. number the number of protons in a nucleus of an atom, which determines the chemical properties if an element and its place on the periodic table
