Across
- 5. / Of, relating to, or characterized by covalent bonds.
- 6. / Any state with energy greater than the ground state.
- 7. / A property of an atom which increases with its tendency to attract the electrons of a bond.
- 9. / A set of rules that are used to determine the term symbol that corresponds to the ground state of a multi-electron atom.
- 10. Principle that states that two or more identical fermions cannot occupy the same quantum state simultaneously.
- 11. / The chemical bond characteristic of metals, in which mobile valence electrons are shared among atoms in a usually stable crystalline structure.
- 12. / A type of chemical bond that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
- 13. / When atoms combine to form molecules they generally each lose, gain, or share valence electrons until they attain or share eight.
Down
- 1. States hypothetically, electrons orbiting one or more atoms fill the lowest available energy levels before filling higher levels.
- 2. / the smallest particle of a substance that retains all the properties of the substance and is composed of one or more atoms.
- 3. / The basis of all chemical reactions is the tendency of chemical elements to acquire stability.
- 4. / Lowest-energy state of a quantum mechanical system.
- 8. states that the physical and chemical properties of the elements recur in a systematic and predictable way when the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.
