Across:

1. A decomposition that is forced by electricity. E.g. a solution of zinc iodide producing a zinc metal coating at minus pole and brown iodine solution at plus pole
2. The smallest group of atoms which is separable from the most compounds or elemental substances. Examples: H2O, H2O2
5. It is a reaction where an element substitutes another element from a compound, forming the new compound and liberating the elemental substance. Example: hydrogen + copper oxide --> water + copper
6. Whole of mingled elemental or composed substances, having a variable composition. Ex. Air
8. A reaction among various substances that yelds a single compound substance. E.g. iodine + zinc --> zinc iodide; calcium oxide + water -> calcium hydroxide
9. three-dimensional - continue structure formed by bonded atoms or ions that are regularly displaced in space.
Examples: NaCl (sodium chloride), Silica (silice, SiO2)
10. An elemental substance not easily workable, with a little capability of conducting electricity and heat. Examples: iodine, carbon, oxygen
11. Is an atom or a group of atoms with an electric charge. Examples: Zinc ion: Zn2+, Iodide: I¯, bicarbonate HCO3¯
15. It is a substance obtained as the last stage of the decomposition of a compound and it is not further decomposable. Examples: diamond, sulphur
16. That of the zinc is 65,4, that of iodine is 126,9 and that of hydrogen is 1,0
17. A negatively charged ion. E.g.: I¯
19. Symbolic representation of a chemical species, from which the constituent elements, the numerical relationship among their atoms, and in some cases, also information on the space disposition, can be derived. Examples: H2O, H2O2
20. It is a mixture where the single components aren't distinguishable, even if with a microscope, because they are mixed at a very small scale. Examples: oil, sea water
21. A positively charged ion. E.g.: Zn2+
22. In this mixture the single components are distinguishable either at first sight or with the microscope. Examples: wood, granite, sand
23. A substance in which the constituent elements are present with a constant and prefixed weight ratio. Examples: Cupric oxide
24. It gives the quantity of each component or element as the ratio to the total quantity of solution or compound. Example: stainless steel: 12% chromium, 87,8% iron, 0,2 % carbon; water: 11,2% hydrogen, 88,8% oxygen

Down:

1. It is made up by the same type of atoms present both in the composed substances and in those elemental. Examples. Oxygen in water, in pure oxygen, in air
3. It is a relation among the masses of the elements that combine to form a compound. Examples: 3,9 = iodine : zinc, in zinc iodide; 7,9 = oxygen : hydrogen, in water
4. from it is not possible to separate other components and its properties are constant and characteristic. Example: oxygen, sodium chloride
7. This technique permits to resolve a mixture in single substances.
Examples: filtration, extraction, crystallization, distillation and chromatography
12. Generally a malleable, good conductor of heat and electricity, substance. Examples: Zn, Cu, Mg
13. It is a reaction that brings the subdivision of a compound in more substances. E.g. oxygen peroxide --> water + oxygen
14. The smallest portion of neutral matter with the characteristics of an element.
18. It is a process in which there are changes in the internal structure of matter, with the formation of one or more new substances
