A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

STRUCTURE OF ATOM

The structure of the atom explains how matter is built from a tiny nucleus and surrounding electrons, and how ideas about this arrangement developed from experimental evidence. For the exam, you must master the major atomic models, the roles of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and the meaning of atomic number, mass number, isotopes, and basic nuclear dimensions.
