Chemistry Form 4: Chapter 2 - Structure of an Atom
- Atom consists of electrons surrounding a nucleus that contains protons and neutrons.
- Electrons are arranged around the nucleus in energy levels or shells.
- The mass of an atom is concentrated in nucleus which contained the protons and neutrons.
- The nucleus is positively charged because of the presence of protons which are positively charged and the neutrons are neutral.
- The atom is neutral because the number of protons and the number of electrons are equal
