	Atomic Structure and the Pascal Triangle
		The atomic mass number of an atom, A, is given by A = Z + N, where N is the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
		The atomic weight of an element is the weighted average of the atomic masses of the various naturally occurring isotopes of the element, and the atomic weight scale is based on a value of exactly 12, after the carbon isotope that has an atomic mass number of 12.
		The greatest nuclear binding energy is found in nuclei of medium atomic number (such as Fe) where N is approximately equal to Z. For nuclei of larger atomic number, such as uranium, N is about equal to 1.5 Z, and the binding energy per nucleon is less.

	Bohr on Electronic Structure of Periodic Table
		The common character of theories of atomic constitution has been the endeavour to find configurations and motions of the electrons which would seem to offer an interpretation of the variations of the chemical properties of the elements with the atomic number as they are so clearly exhibited in the well-known periodic law.
		The application of the quantum theory to atomic problems-which took its starting point from the interpretation of the simple spectrum of hydrogen, for which no a priori fixation of the stationary states of the atoms was needed-has in recent years been largely extended by the development of systematic methods-for fixing the stationary states motions.
		On the contrary, it seems necessary to seek the configurations of the electrons in the atoms among such configurations as may be formed by the successive binding of the electrons one by one, a process the last stages of which we may assume to witness in the emission of the series spectra of the elements.

	Atomic Theory I
		After Eugen Goldstein’s 1886 discovery that atoms had positive charges, Thomson imagined that atoms looked like pieces of raisin bread, a structure in which clumps of small, negatively charged electrons (the "raisins") were scattered inside a smear of positive charges.
		Atoms of different elements are distinguished from each other by their number of protons (the number of protons is constant for all atoms of a single element; the number of neutrons and electrons can vary under some circumstances).
		To identify this important characteristic of atoms, the term atomic number (z) is used to describe the number of protons in an atom.

	Atomic Structure
		An atom's atomic number is the number of protons there are in the nucleus.
		The decimal number on the periodic table is the atomic mass, the mass of one atom measured in atomic mass units(amu).
		So the atomic mass is the mass in amus of one atom of an element, but you rarely use the mass of one atom.

		The number of protons (and neutrons) in the atomic nucleus may also change, via nuclear fusion, nuclear fission or radioactive decay, in which case the atom is no longer the same element it was.
		Atoms with the same atomic number Z share a wide variety of physical properties and exhibit almost identical chemical properties (for the closest instance to an exception to this principle, see deuterium and heavy water).
		The atomic mass listed for each element in the periodic table is an average of the isotope masses found in nature, weighted by their abundance.

	Atomic Structure
		Relative Atomic Mass - The average mass of the naturally occurring isotopes of the element, relative to C-12.
		The relative quantities of the various isotopes are calculated, and then the average mass taken, weighting the various isotopes according to their relative frequencies.
		The half-life of an isotope is the time taken for the number of atoms of that isotope to fall to half its original value (this is constant for any isotope).

	Structure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The structure of a material may be divided into four levels: atomic structure, atomic arrangement, microstructure, and macrostructure.
		Although the main thrust of [the materials engineer] is to understand and control the microstructure and macro-structure of various materials, [she] must first understand the atomic and crystal structures.
		Atomic structure influences how the atoms are bonded together, which in turn helps one to categorize materials as metals, ceramics, and polymers and permits us to draw some general conclusions concerning the mechanical properties and physical behavior of these three classes of materials.

		N.B.: As the atomic number increases the number of protons in the nucleus increase, which increases the attraction of the electrons to the nucleus; however, this increase in positive charge is overridden by the increased distance of the negative electrons from the nucleus.
		At beryllium (atomic number 4) the 2s orbital is full and therefore the energy needed to remove an electron is higher than that for lithium (atomic number 3).
		At boron (atomic number 5) the 2p orbital has only one electron in it and this means the energy dips down a little.

	(Q-2) The Atomic Structure of Matter
		Viewing the atoms of a gas as colliding spheres, in particular, explained very well the theory of heat and the classical gas laws--even the uneven distribution of molecular (or atomic) velocities in a hot gas (calculated by Maxwell, his "Maxwellian distribution") and sophisticated ideas like the second law of thermodynamics.
		In later years, in electric discharges in rarefied gases, physicists managed to separate tiny negatively charged electrons, as well as positive ions, the atomic or molecular fragments left behind when electrons were detached.
		Of all the atomic spectra, the simplest is that of hydrogen--not surprising, since hydrogen is the smallest of atoms, and presumably the simplest.
