Understanding key terms is essential for success in chemistry. The subject is built on a precise language that allows chemists to describe complex ideas clearly and concisely. Whether interpreting examination questions, writing balanced equations or explaining reaction mechanisms, a solid grasp of chemical vocabulary enables you to communicate effectively and avoid misunderstandings. Mastering these terms also helps you to link different areas of chemistry – such as physical, organic and inorganic – making it easier to apply concepts across topics and develop deeper scientific insight.
Using the clues, identify the 12 important chemistry terms in the puzzle. The letters from the highlighted black boxes will reveal an additional hidden chemistry term. Then, tackle two anagrams – rearrange the letters in the seven orange boxes to form a chemistry term, and do the same with the letters in the 11 blue boxes to uncover a final term. To help you, the letters in the yellow boxes can be arranged to spell ‘chemistry’.
