Atoms, nuclei and isotopes
Atoms, nuclei and isotopes
Atoms have a tiny, positively charged nucleus containing protons and neutrons. Electrons occupy energy levels around the nucleus, and atomic models matter because they explain observations such as spectra and radioactivity.
Step-by-step lessons on Eduqas A Level Chemistry Basic ideas about atoms. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build confidence with atomic structure, bonding and moles calculations early on, since these underpin the more demanding organic mechanisms, equilibrium and practical-analysis topics that dominate Year 2.
