Question

What is the importance of atomic structure? Please explain in details thank you

Answer 1

Firstly atomic structure means structure of an atom that means how the atom can be designed,what are the particles prsent in it.

A basic knowledge of the nature and arrangement of these three subatomic particles is important in understanding the structure and behavior of atoms that is the study of three fundamental subatomic particles - the electron, the proton and the neutron.

Atomic structure is the core of chemistry. Atomic structure is the study of the structure of an atom, and also the sub atomic particles present in it.

Chemical reactions involve either the transfer or the sharing of electrons between atoms. Therefore, the chemical reactivity/ properties of an element is primarily dependent upon the number of electrons in an atom of that element. Protons also play a significant role because the tendency for an atom to either lose, gain or share electrons is dependent upon the charge of the nucleus.

Therefore, we can say that the chemical reactivity of an atom is dependent upon the number of electrons and protons, and independent of the number of neutrons.The mass and radioactive properties of an atom are dependent upon the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

By this atomic structure we know the information about

Electrons,protons, neutrons in atom their distribution.
