    The particle model is used to describe the behavior of matter.
  • What does atomic structure refer to?
    Atomic structure refers to the arrangement of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom.
  • How do chemical reactions relate to atomic structure?
    Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms in different combinations.
  • What is the purpose of the periodic table?
    The periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic number and properties.
  • What are the main components of atomic structure?
    • Protons (positively charged)
    • Neutrons (neutral)
    • Electrons (negatively charged)
    • Nucleus (contains protons and neutrons)
    • Electron cloud (region where electrons are found)
  • What are the key features of the periodic table?
    • Elements arranged by increasing atomic number
    • Groups (columns) indicate similar chemical properties
    • Periods (rows) indicate energy levels of electrons
    • Metals, nonmetals, and metalloids are categorized
