Document Summary
Lab report: atomic structure: assess the possibility of life on other planets. The atomic structure refers to the arrangement of an atom. This consists of a nucleus (center of the atom), protons (positively charged ions), neutrons (neutral charged ions), and electrons (negatively charged ions). The negatively charged enough revolve around the nucleus. When inferring about the atomic structure of an atom, one might think of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is the science pertaining to the behavior of matter and light of atomic and subatomic particles. Its purpose is to describe the properties of molecules as well as their contents (electrons, neutrons, and protons). Quantum mechanics had evolved from the theory that matter is composed of atoms.
