Across
- 5. – Neutral particle in the nucleus, just there to keep the peace.
- 7. – The amount of space an object takes up, even when it’s taking up too much space.
- 8. – Why elements are grouped together. Similar traits, not similar vibes.
- 10. – The number that organizes the periodic table, not alphabetically like your contacts.
- 13. – Mass divided by volume, aka the reason some things float and others sink dramatically.
- 14. – The packed center of the atom where protons and neutrons hang out.
- 15. – What must be equal on both sides of a balanced chemical equation.
- 17. – The tiny building block of everything, smaller than your attention span on a Friday.
- 18. – Two or more substances mixed together but not chemically bonded. It’s complicated.
Down
- 1. – Particles so small you cannot see them, even with a microscope and optimism.
- 2. – A chemical equation that follows the rules and keeps all atoms accounted for.
- 3. – Positively charged particle chilling in the nucleus like it pays rent.
- 4. – Negatively charged particle with commitment issues. Always orbiting, never settling down.
- 6. – The only numbers you’re allowed to change when balancing equations.
- 9. – The amount of matter in a substance, not how heavy it feels after gym.
- 11. – Two or more elements chemically bonded like a science power couple.
- 12. – A pure substance that cannot be broken down without serious chemistry drama.
- 16. – Anything that has mass and takes up space. Yes, even the homework you forgot.
