Across
- 3. the law that states that the repeating chemical and physical properties of elements change periodically with the atomic numbers of the elements
- 5. the mass in grams of one mole of a substance
- 7. as their name suggests, semiconductors are able to conduct heat and electricity under certain conditions
- 8. an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons and has a negative or positive charge
- 9. the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
- 12. one of the elements of Group 2 of the periodic table
- 13. one of the metals that can use the inner shell before using the outer shell to bond
- 17. one of the elements of Group 17 of the periodic table
- 18. an element that is shiny and that conducts heat and electricity well
Down
- 1. an atom that has the same number of protons (or the same atomic number) as other atoms of the same element do but that has a different number of neutrons (and thus a different atomic mass)
- 2. one of the elements of Group 18 of the periodic table
- 4. the SI base unit used to measure the amount of a substance whose number of particles is the same as the number of atoms of carbon in exactly 12 g of carbon-12
- 6. the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom; the atomic number is the same for all atoms of an element.
- 10. an electron that is found in the outermost shell of an atom and that determines the atom’s chemical properties
- 11. in chemistry, a horizontal row of elements in the periodic table
- 14. one of the elements of Group 1 of the periodic table
- 15. a vertical column of elements in the periodic table; elements in a group share chemical properties
- 16. an element that conducts heat and electricity poorly and that does not form positive ions in an electrolytic solution
