Question
Chapter 2.1, Problem 6CYP
Summary Introduction
To analyse:
And describe the concept of atomic nucleus, electron orbitals and shells.
Introduction:
An atom comprised of sub-atomic particles call protons, electrons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge and neutrons are uncharged. The number of each of these sub-atomic particles determines the characteristic features of an element.
