a. Monatomic and Polyatomic molecules
b. Mixtures and compounds
c. Equation and chemical formula
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Monatomic ions are composed of a single atom whereas polyatomic ions are composed of two or more atoms per ion. These ions can be either cations or anions

2. Mixtures are heterogeneous forms of matterMixtures are composed of variable proportions of molecules and atoms. Compounds are homogeneous forms of matter. Their constituent elements (atoms and/or ions) are always present in fixed proportions.

3. A chemical formula is the combination of atomic symbols that designate a particular chemical compound, or a substance with two or more different elements. ... A chemical equation shows one or more chemical compounds (reactants) being converted into different chemical species called products
