Experiment 2: Atomic Structure and Spectroscopy
Introduction to the Experiment: Overview of Atomic Structure and Spectroscopy
The world of chemistry is fundamentally rooted in the understanding of atomic structure, which forms the basis for numerous concepts throughout the discipline. Atomic structure refers to the arrangement of subatomic particles—protons, neutrons, and electrons—within an atom. This arrangement not only defines the identity of an element but also dictates its chemical behaviors and interactions.
