What is an atom?

An atom can be defined as the indivisible structure that makes up an element.

The structure of an atom is made up of a nucleus and an outer shell (orbit).

The nucleus of the atom is made up of neutrons and protons while the electrons are found revolving around the orbit.

Therefore, the lesson of the atomic structure in chemistry helps a chemist to know the number of electrons each element has.
