Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.An atom is the basic unit of matter that consists of a nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, and electrons that orbit around the nucleus. Atoms are incredibly small, with diameters on the order of picometers (10^-12 meters). They are the building blocks of all elements and combine to form molecules.
The concept of atoms dates back to ancient times, but it was not until the early 20th century that their existence was confirmed through scientific experiments. The understanding of atoms has revolutionized our understanding of chemistry and physics, providing insights into how matter behaves at the microscopic level.
Atoms have different properties depending on the number of protons in their nucleus. This determines their atomic number, which defines the element they belong to. The periodic table of elements organizes atoms based on their atomic number and provides a comprehensive overview of the known elements.
