Structure of Atom MCQs

Everything around us is composed of atoms, which are the smallest units of matter possessing all its chemical properties. An atom consists of a positively charged nucleus containing protons, which are positively charged, and neutrons, which are neutral. This nucleus is encircled by negatively charged electrons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons. An element’s atomic number is directly linked to its chemical and physical properties.
