Atomic physics primarily studies the structure and behavior of atoms, focusing on the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus.
When referring to an 'atom' in atomic physics, it includes the entire atom, consisting of the nucleus (protons and neutrons) and electrons.
Atomic physics is distinguished from nuclear physics, which specifically deals with the nucleus and its components (protons and neutrons).
Atomic physics is often considered in the context of quantum mechanics, which explains the behavior of electrons in atoms.
Atomic physics is primarily not concerned with the internal structure of the nucleus, which is the focus of nuclear physics.
