ions
neutrons
compounds

Answer 1

I believe that it could be isotopes

Answer 2

isotopes

Step-by-step explanation:

The atoms of an element that have same number of protons but different number of neutrons are called as the isotopes of that element.

For example:
`_(1)^(1)(\textrm{H}\text{protium})\text{and}_(1)^(2)\textrm{H}(\text{deuterium})` are the isotopes of Hydrogen

Ions are the charged species of an atom that are formed by the gain or loose of electrons.

For example:
`\text{Na}^(+)`

Neutrons are the sub-atomic particles found inside the nucleus of an atom. They carry no charge.

Compounds are the substances that are formed when two or more atoms combine in a definite proportion.

For example: NaCl
