Across
- 3. The path electrons follow around the nucleus of an atom.
- 4. Negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom.
- 7. A state of matter with widely spaced particles moving freely and quickly.
- 9. The process where a gas cools and changes into a liquid.
- 14. The process where a solid absorbs heat and changes into a liquid.
- 15. The process where a liquid changes into a gas, often by heating.
- 16. Positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom.
- 17. The basic units of matter, consisting of a nucleus surrounded by electrons.
- 20. The process where a liquid loses heat and changes into a solid.
- 21. A state of matter where particles are close together but can flow past one another.
- 22. A group of reactive nonmetals in Group 17 of the periodic table.
- 23. The process where a solid changes directly into a gas without becoming a liquid.

Down
- 1. Anything that has mass and takes up space.
- 2. Gases Elements in Group 18 of the periodic table, known for their lack of reactivity.
- 5. Metals A group of metals located in the center of the periodic table, known for their conductivity and malleability.
- 6. The capacity to do work or cause change, present in many forms like kinetic and thermal.
- 8. Metals Highly reactive metals found in Group 1 of the periodic table.
- 10. The process where a gas changes directly into a solid without becoming a liquid.
- 11. Neutral particles found in the nucleus of an atom.
- 12. Zero The theoretical temperature at which all particle motion stops, 0 Kelvin.
- 13. A form of energy transfer between substances due to a temperature difference.
- 16. The small units of matter, including atoms, molecules, and ions.
- 18. A state of matter with particles tightly packed in a fixed structure.
- 19. Elements with properties of both metals and nonmetals, often found along the "stair-step" line on the periodic table.
- 24. Elements that are good conductors of heat and electricity, often malleable and ductile.
