Across
  1. 2. Point: physical property that describes the temperature at which a solid will become a liquid
  2. 5. the transfer of energy through the movement of a liquid.
  3. 7. Mass: equals the number of protons plus electrons in an atom
  4. 9. Mixtures: made of two or more substances and you can differentiate between the substances (sand)
  5. 12. neutrally charged subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom
  6. 15. pure chemical substance that is made up of two or more different elements
  7. 17. positively charged subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom
  8. 20. Electrons: electrons found in the outermost shell and involved in forming molecules
  9. 23. smallest unit of matter that defines the chemical reaction
  10. 25. definite volume but no fixed shape (water)
  11. 26. gas that is charged and conducts electricity easily (stars, neon lights, lightning). Plasma is different from the other states of matter in that it is a high-energy state of matter.
  12. 28. pure chemical substances that are made up of one type of atom
  13. 29. chemical property of how easily a substance will set on fire
  14. 30. physical property that describes how tightly matter is put together
  15. 31. Energy: Energy that is generated by movement within an atom**
  16. 32. definite shape and volume which cannot be easily changed (ice)
  17. 33. Properties: properties that are measurable and can be observed, can be determined without changing the chemical properties of an object (color, hardness, area, length, strength, temperature, state of matter)
Down
  1. 1. Table of Elements: table arranging all the known elements into groups with common properties. This arrangement also demonstrates trends based on those properties.
  2. 2. made of two or more atoms joined together chemically; can be the same element (Oxygen) or different elements (Water)
  3. 3. Energy: energy that is generated and measured by heat (kinetic energy of an atom)
  4. 4. Mixtures: made of two or more substances and you cannot differentiate between the substances (salt water)
  5. 6. negatively charged subatomic particles found in the electron cloud of an atom
  6. 8. amount of space that an object or substance occupies (physical property)
  7. 10. energy that is transferred by waves of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as sunlight.
  8. 11. anything that has mass and occupies space
  9. 13. Substance: matter of any form that cannot be broken down into separate elements by physical means but can be broken down using chemical changes
  10. 14. chemical property of the capacity of an atom or molecule to go through a chemical reaction with another atom or molecule
  11. 16. made of two or more substances that are not combined chemically
  12. 18. Point: physical property that describes the temperature at which a liquid will become a gas
  13. 19. no definite shape (take the shape of the container) and no definite volume (steam)
  14. 21. the transfer of energy through direct contact of objects.
  15. 22. Number: equals the number of protons in an atoms
  16. 24. of Matter: different forms that matter can be found in
  17. 27. Atomic mass unit.
  18. 29. Properties: properties that can be measured only by chemically changing an object (fire)
