Across
- 3. electron Electron(s) located in the outermost shell of an atom that is responsible for the formation of chemical bonds
- 6. Table made to organize the elements
- 7. an arrangement of two or more atoms that share electrons
- 8. cloud (orbital) A region around an atomic nucleus defined by a high probability that the atom's electrons will be present in that region.
- 10. matter made up entirely of the same atom each on has their own symbol
- 13. ability to conduct or move energy or heat
- 15. a basic unit of matter consisting of a positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electrons
- 16. finds the nucleus and its positive charge and determines that electrons are orbiting the nucleus from a considerable distance.
- 17. develops a theory that all matter is composed of solid, indivisible things called atoms, which come in an infinite variety of shapes and sizes
- 18. discovers electrons, which he thinks are embedded in a sphere of positive electrical charge.
- 20. The positively charged core of an atom, made of protons and neutrons and contains nearly all its mass
- 21. develops the quantum mechanical model, in which electrons are not on neat tracks. This model describes the probability of finding electrons in clouds of certain shapes.
Down
- 1. A negatively charged subatomic particle. It can be either free (not attached to any atom), or bound to the positively charged nucleus of an atom
- 2. hard, shiny elements that conductivity heat and energy
- 4. poor conductors of heat and energy
- 5. have some properties of metals and some of nonmetals
- 9. mass weight of the atom. Number of protons + number of neutrons (electrons are VERY light in mass)
- 11. atomic model builds upon Rutherford’s by showing how electrons can move from one orbit to another, depending on their energies.
- 12. number. number of protons in an atom
- 13. a distinct substance formed by the chemical union of two or more ingredients
- 14. A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of every atom. It has a positive electrical charge
- 17. determines the relative weights of atoms, which he thinks are tiny, indestructible particles.
- 19. A subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton, but without an electric charge.
