What is atomic structure and bonding?

From elementary chemistry it is known that the atomic structure of any element is made up of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons revolving around it. All chemical bonds involve electrons. Atoms will stay close together if they have a shared interest in one or more electrons.

What is an atom BBC Bitesize GCSE?

An atom is the smallest part of an element that can exist. Atoms of each element are represented by their own chemical symbol.

How many different types of atoms are there GCSE?

Key idea 1: Matter is made of particles called atoms Everything is made up of atoms, which are made up of protons and neutrons (in the nucleus) and electrons (orbiting in shells). There are about 100 different types of naturally-occurring atoms called elements.

What is the atomic structure on the periodic table?

The chemical elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. The horizontal rows are called periods and the vertical columns are called groups. Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties. This is because they have the same number of outer electrons and the same valency.
