The Structure of the Atom
➢ The smallest unit of matter as recognized by
chemical properties of molecules.
➢ composed of protons, neutrons and
electrons.
➢ very small; typical sizes are around 100
picometers (a ten-billionth of a meter, in the
short scale)
➢ is the small, dense region consisting of protons
and neutrons at the center of an atom

Atoms under Magnification: Direct Observation of the Nodal Structure of Stark States
Ateam of researchers from China’s National Center for Nanoscience & Technology and Renmin
University have utilized atomic force microscopy (AFM) to produce a high-resolution image of atoms
reaching out to make a link with each other.
