Atomic structure and the Periodic Table
A simple model of the atom, relative atomic mass, electronic charge and isotopes
describe the atom as a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons, with the nuclear radius much smaller than that of the atom and with most of the mass in the nucleus
recall relative charges and approximate relative masses of protons, neutrons and electrons
