3 Questions
Describe the relationship between electron configuration and the chemical behavior of an atom.
Electron configuration determines the arrangement of electrons in an atom, which in turn influences its chemical behavior, such as reactivity and bonding.
Explain the structure of an atom, including the subatomic particles and their charges.
An atom consists of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge and orbit the nucleus.
What is the significance of the atomic number and mass number in determining the identity and properties of an atom?
The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom, determining its identity, while the mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons, affecting its properties.
Test your knowledge of the structure of an atom with this quiz.
