Atomic theory is a scientific explanation that describes the structure and behavior of atoms. It states that atoms are composed of a central nucleus containing protons and neutrons, with electrons orbiting around it in specific energy levels.
Imagine atomic theory as a blueprint for a house. Just like how a blueprint provides detailed instructions on how to construct a house, atomic theory provides us with detailed information about the structure and behavior of atoms.
Atoms: Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter. They are the smallest units of an element that still retain the chemical properties of that element.
Electron Configuration: Electron configuration refers to the arrangement or distribution pattern of electrons within an atom's electron energy levels.
Quantum Mechanics: Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with phenomena at very small scales, such as atomic and subatomic systems.
