Across
- 3. An atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.
- 9. Highly reactive nonmetals found in Group 17 of the periodic table (e.g., fluorine, chlorine).
- 11. Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom, involved in forming bonds.
- 12. A compound made up of ions bonded together by ionic bonds.
- 13. Elements with properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals (e.g., silicon, arsenic).
- 16. Elements that are usually poor conductors of heat and electricity, often found as gases or brittle solids (e.g., oxygen, sulfur).
- 17. The energy levels where electrons are located around an atom's nucleus.
- 18. A model of the atom that shows electrons orbiting the nucleus in defined energy levels.
- 19. Inert gases found in Group 18 of the periodic table, very stable and unreactive (e.g., helium, neon).
Down
- 1. Highly reactive metals found in Group 1 of the periodic table (e.g., sodium, potassium).
- 2. A type of chemical bond formed between two ions with opposite charges.
- 4. Elements in Group 2 of the periodic table, reactive but less so than alkali metals (e.g., calcium, magnesium).
- 5. A charicteristic of water that describes its partial positive charge on one side and a partial negative charge on the other.
- 6. A positively charged ion (e.g., Na⁺).
- 7. A negatively charged ion (e.g., Cl⁻).
- 8. Elements that are typically solid, shiny, good conductors of electricity, and malleable (e.g., iron, copper).
- 10. A diagram that shows the bonding between atoms and the lone pairs of electrons.
- 14. A type of chemical bond where atoms share electron pairs.
- 15. The principle that atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell.
