To solve the crossword puzzle, we will need to find answers for each clue. To do this, we can use our knowledge of transition metals and related concepts, as well as any additional resources we have available. Let's break down each clue and find the corresponding answers.
Down:
30. Cinder-like particles of pellets of concentrated ore (4 letters)
To find the answer for this clue, we need to think of a term related to concentrated ore that is four letters long. One possible answer could be "slag."
Across:
5. Term referring to substances that are attracted into a magnetic field (10 letters)
The term we are looking for is related to magnetism and substances being attracted to a magnetic field. This term is "paramagnetism."
30. Product of blast furnace that is usually thrown away but can be used to make Portland cement (7 letters)
This clue refers to a product of a blast furnace that is usually discarded but can also be used to make Portland cement. The seven-letter word that fits this description is "slag."
32. No more than two electrons in the 4s sublevel indicate this characteristic (9 letters)
This clue is related to the electron configuration of transition metals. When no more than two electrons occupy the 4s sublevel, the characteristic being referred to is "diamagnetic."
35. The property of certain metals whereby they are strongly attracted by a magnet (13 letters)
This clue is about a property of certain metals that makes them strongly attracted to magnets. The 13-letter term for this property is "ferromagnetism."
37. Any physical or chemical process by which low-grade ore is concentrated (12 letters)
This clue asks for a term related to the process by which low-grade ore is concentrated. The answer is "beneficiation."
40. Blowpipes at the base of a blast furnace (8 letters)
This clue refers to a part of a blast furnace located at its base. The word that fits this description is "tuyeres."
44. A substance used to remove the oxide coating from a metallic surface (5 letters)
This clue refers to a substance used for removing oxide coating from a metallic surface. The five-letter term that fits this description is "flux."
Now that we have found answers for each clue, let's fill them into the puzzle and complete it:
