Step-by-step explanation:

An atom contains three sub-atomic particles as protons, neutrons and electrons.

Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge and electrons are negatively charged.

An element is a substance that contains same type of atoms. For example, Na is an element.

A solution is a mixture of two or more substances mixed together in uniform composition. Hence, it is also known as a homogeneous solution.

A compound is a substance that contains two or more different atoms chemically combined together in similar composition.

A colloid is a substance in which particles are present in a microscopically dispersed phase throughout a dispersion medium. Physical distinction can be done between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium. Therefore, a colloid is a heterogeneous mixture.

Hence, we match each vocabulary term to its definition as follows.

1. electrons - negatively charged, subatomic particles.

2. element - a substance with only one type of atom.

3. solution - a homogeneous mixture.

4. compound - two or more elements that have been chemically combined.

5. protons - positively charged, subatomic particles.

6. colloid - a heterogeneous mixture.
