Interpretation : A model of the atom is crucial to understand chemistry and explaining the behavior of matter.
Concept Introduction : The smallest component of an element that maintains its identity during a
Answer to Problem 86A
Atom is important since it is used in a major part of chemistry like the periodic table, the determination of properties of elements.
Explanation of Solution
Every aspect of how matter behaves may be explained in terms of an atom. In actuality, the matter itself is composed of several atoms. The atoms have a significant part in determining the physical and chemical qualities of a substance, as well as any other behavior that it exhibits.
A portion of the periodic table is all atoms.
The work of numerous scientists led to the creation of the periodic table. It is made up of numerous components that are ordered in accordance with various criteria.
Therefore, it is feasible to understand various atom models or qualities using this periodic table and therefore understand how the interaction and behavior of matter occur.
One can easily determine several atomic characteristics, such as electronegativity, metallic character, structure, and atomic size, using many atomic models.
These atom models allow us to comprehend the matter and its behaviors better.
