Across
- 2. an atom or a group of atoms with one or more net positive or negative electrical charges
- 4. energy travels in the form of a wave
- 5. combination of two or more atoms of the same chemical element
- 6. whenever energy is convert we end up with a lower or less usable energy than we started with
- 9. stored and potentially available
- 10. a well-tested and widely accepted scientific hypothesis
- 11. all elements are made up of atoms
- 12. smallest unit of matter into which an element can be divided
- 13. occurs when the nuclei of an isotope splits apart in to lighter nuclei
- 14. energy is converted from one form to another, no energy is created or destroyed
- 16. occurs when nuclei of unstable isotopes emit fast moving chunks of matter
- 17. mass of an atom
Down
- 1. contain at least two carbon atoms combined with atoms of one or more other elements
- 2. forms of an element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers
- 3. whenever matter undergoes a physical or chemical change
- 4. is a measure of capacity of a type of energy to do useful work
- 6. a well-tested and widely accepted description of what we find happening repeatedly in nature in the same way
- 7. a double helix DNA molecule wrapped around so proteins
- 8. occurs when two isotopes are forced together at extremely high temperatures
- 15. is a measure of how useful a form of matter is to humans as a resource
