1 of 5
What are the relative masses of protons, neutrons and electrons?
Proton: 1 Neutron: 1 Electron: very small

What is a compound?
It is when atoms of two or more elements are chemically combined together. It is difficult to separate the two original elements out again.

List the main properties of ionic compounds.
They have a regular lattice structure. They all have similar properties.
4 of 5
Explain what is meant by the term isotope.
Isotopes are: different atomic forms of the same element, which have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
