Answer:
A compound contains atoms of different elements chemically combined together in a fixed ratio. An element is a pure chemical substance made of same type of atom. Compounds contain different elements in a fixed ratio arranged in a defined manner through chemical bonds. They contain only one type of molecule.
Atomic models were developed through indirect observation even though no one had seen an atom. There were many experiments of which I know nothing about, but in the end the scientists managed to come up with a formula and various models to describe atoms.
Fluoride is an anion of Fluorine
What this means is that the two have the same number of protons (9), but Fluoride has 10 electrons compared to Fluorine's 9.
So the answers are:
Protons - 9
Neutrons - 9
Electrons - 10
Atomic Number - 9
Atomic Mass - 19 g/mol
