what is the radius of an atom ?
1 x 10(-10) m
describe the atomic structure
has a nucleus that contains protons and neutrons. the charge of the nucleus is positive
the nucleus is surrounded by electrons which have a negative charge.
energy level is higher the further away from the nucleus it is
whats a compound

whats a mixture
two or more elements not chemically joined and can be separated easily
