5. The process by which an acid of known concentration is added to a base of unknown
concentration (or vice-versa) until a neutral pH is reached so as to determine the unknown
concentration.
7. A mass ----------- is used to determine relative mass and abundance of natural isotopes.

19. The process of heating the concentrated ore in a limited supply of air or in the absence of air is
known as?
21. This occurs in the stream after rain when the mud is "hanging" in the water.
22. A model used to predict the geometry of molecules based on minimizing the electrostatic
repulsion of a molecules valence electrons around a central atom.
23. The face-centered cubic crystalline form of iron.
25. Two or more types of an atom with the same amount of protons and electrons but differing
amounts of neutrons.
26. Two isotonic solutions will have same _______ pressure.
29. These mixtures have particles that are small enough to remain floating but larger than that of a
solution.
30. When the activation energy relative orientations and location of the colliding particles are
appropriate the collision is said to be this.

DOWN: 1. Nitrous oxide is used in minor dental surgery as a compound known as ____ gas.
2. a solution that retains its chemical composition when distilled.
3. Which polymer is used in the manufacture of paints and lacquers?
4. This scientist received the Nobel prize in both chemistry and physics and is credited with
discovering Radium. She subsequently died of radiation poisoning.
6. A formula giving the proportions of the elements present in a compound but not the actual
numbers or arrangement of atoms.
8. A Soviet nuclear power plant that melted down in the 1980's causing untold contamination to
the environment and revealing a fatal flaw to Nuclear power.
9. A colorless liquid or white crystals with a strong unpleasant odor that is used in permanent
waving solutions.
14. A type of weak chemical bond formed when the slightly positive hydrogen atom of a polar
covalent bond in one molecule is attracted to the slightly negative atom of a polar covalent bond in
another molecule.
15. You can pour it into your bath water to sooth an achy body(MgSO4)
16. A chemical that acts as a contaminant in the context of another substance's purity.
20. The theory that suggests when 2 molecules collide and chemically react they form a short-lived
activated complex before breaking apart.
24. A gas undergoes a thermodynamical process but the volume of the gas does not change. What
is the nature of this process ?
27. Corrundum and Cryolite are important ores of this metal.
28. Non-polar organic compounds that function in long term energy storage structure insulation
and hormone/vitamin production
