the Atom
Delving into atomic architecture
What is
an atom?
The atom is the fundamental unit of matter.
It consists of a central nucleus containing positively
charged protons and neutral neutrons, surrounded by a
cloud of negatively charged electrons.

The interaction between these particles determines the


properties and behavior of chemical elements.
What are its components?
ELECTRON CLOUD
Region around the nucleus
where electrons orbit.

ATOMIC ORBITALS
Three-dimensional regions where electrons are most
likely to be found in an atom.

ELECTRON
Negatively charged subatomic
particle orbiting the nucleus.
What are its components?
NEUTRON
Neutral particle in the atomic
nucleus alongside protons.

ATOMIC NUCLEUS
Positively charged center of the atom containing
protons and neutrons.

PROTON
Positively charged particle
in the atomic nucleus.
