Muhtasari / Summary: Atomic structure, isotopes, and Periodic Table organisation.

An atom consists of a nucleus (protons + neutrons) surrounded by electrons. Atomic number = number of protons. Mass number = protons + neutrons. Isotopes: same element, different neutron numbers (e.g. ¹²C and ¹⁴C). The Periodic Table (Mendeleev, 1869) arranges elements by increasing atomic number. Groups (columns) have similar properties. Periods (rows) show increasing electron shells. Metals (left), non-metals (right), metalloids (middle staircase).
