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
