Explanation:

For 1: protons plus neutrons.

Atomic mass is the sum of number of neutrons and protons present in an element.

Hence, the correct answer is atomic number

For 2: proton number

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons present in an element.

Hence, the correct answer is atomic number.

For 3: detects radiation

Photographic film is used as an imaging detector and thus detects the radiation.

Hence, the correct answer is photographic film.

For 4: Fixed shape

Solid state is defined as the state which have fixed shape and volume.

Hence, the correct answer is solid.

For 5: Neutral charge

Neutrons are a subatomic particle which is present in the nucleus and does not carry any charge.

Hence, the correct answer is neutron.

For 6: positive charge

Protons are a subatomic particle which is present in the nucleus and carry positive charge.

Hence, the correct answer is proton.

For 7: occupies the whole container

Gaseous state is defined as the state which does not have any fixed shape or volume. It occupies the shape of the container.

Hence, the correct answer is gas

For 8: measures intensity of radiation

Geiger counter is defined as an instrument that is used for detecting and measuring the ionization radiation.

Hence, the correct answer is Geiger counter,

For 9: Smallest particle to retain characteristics.

Atom is defined as the smallest unit of matter which cannot be further broken down and thus retain its properties.

Hence, the correct answer is Atom.

For 10: Negative charge

Electrons are a subatomic particle which are located around the nucleus in orbits and carry negative charge.

Hence, the correct answer is electron.
