another by the use of conversion factors
-True - -T/F: number of protons never changes according to periodic table
-number of protons - -atomic number=_______________________
-number of neutrons - -mass number=_______________________

isotopes of an element
-compound - -substance composed of 2+ elements that are chemically
combined
-molecular compound - -compound in which atoms are held together by
covalent bonds

between two atoms
