Across
- 4. A solid that forms and separates from a liquid solution as a sign of a chemical reaction.
- 6. A characteristic smell produced as a result of a chemical reaction occurring.
- 8. A chemical reaction that absorbs heat from its surroundings.
- 9. Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in forming chemical bonds.
- 12. A chemical reaction that releases heat to its surroundings.
- 13. A simplified version of a structural formula that shows the atoms and their bonds but omits some details, often using shorthand to represent certain parts of the molecule.
- 15. A chemical bond in which two atoms share three pairs of electrons.
- 16. The speed at which a chemical reaction occurs typically increases when the temperature is raised.
- 17. The principle stating that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction, which is why chemical equations must be balanced.
- 18. A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process.
Down
- 1. A symbolic representation of a chemical reaction, showing reactants, products, and their proportions.
- 2. A chemical bond in which two atoms share one pair of electrons.
- 3. The principle that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed, in a chemical reaction.
- 5. A representation of a compound showing the elements and the number of atoms of each element in the compound.
- 6. A chemical compound primarily made of carbon atoms bonded with hydrogen, oxygen, and other elements, typically forming the basis of life.
- 7. The amount of a substance in a given volume, which can influence the rate of a chemical reaction.
- 10. A chemical bond in which two atoms share two pairs of electrons.
- 11. A representation of a molecule that shows all atoms and the bonds between them, illustrating the exact arrangement of atoms.
- 14. For example, a larger ________ of a solid, such as powdered sugar, reacts faster than a large lump of the same material because more of it is exposed to the other reactant.
