1. slip plane
2. unit cell
3. metalloid
4. nonmetal
5. mixture

• 5 points

Explanation:

• 6. slip plane: A slip plane is an area in a crystal where atoms can slide past each other. So match with "an area in a crystal where atoms can slide past each other".
• 7. unit cell: A unit cell is the smallest repeating unit of crystalline formation. So match with "the smallest repeating unit of crystalline formation".
• 8. metalloid: Metalloids are elements along the stair - step on the periodic table. So match with "elements along the stair - step on the periodic table".
• 9. nonmetal: Nonmetals are elements to the right of the periodic table (in general, most nonmetals are located there). So match with "elements to the right of the periodic table".
• 10. mixture: A mixture is a combination of elements or compounds with no fixed ratio. So match with "a combination of elements or compounds with no fixed ratio".

Answer:

1. slip plane - an area in a crystal where atoms can slide past each other
2. unit cell - the smallest repeating unit of crystalline formation
3. metalloid - elements along the stair - step on the periodic table
4. nonmetal - elements to the right of the periodic table
5. mixture - a combination of elements or compounds with no fixed ratio
