Atomic structure and properties ... A more meaningful definition of "atom" can be made in terms of the internal structure, which has been well understood at least since 1927. In these terms the atom is the unit of matter that contains a small, dense, positively charged nucleus surrounded by sufficient negative electrons to make the whole electrically neutral. Structure. All atoms are about the same size, and this fact is a clue to the nature of their structure. The atomic diameter is about 2 X 10[superscript] -8 cm (2 hundred-millionths of a centimeter). Since this is only 1/1000 of the wavelength of visible light, atoms cannot be seen in the ordinary sense, even with microscope. 3, record 1, English, - atomic%20structure

Structure de l'atome [...] L'atome est composé de trois éléments de base : le proton, le neutron et l'électron. Ils sont groupés en : a) Un noyau, très dense, où est concentrée presque toute la masse de l'atome, et qui est formé de nucléons de masses très voisines (1,66.10[exposant]-24g) [...] Ces nucléons sont les protons (P), portant une charge électrique positive (1,6.10[exposant]-19C), et les neutrons (N), sans charge électrique. b) Autour de ce noyau gravitent des électrons [...] en couches successives (K,L,M, ...); à chaque couche correspond un niveau d'énergie [...] La masse de l'électron est environ 1 850 fois plus faible que celle du proton. Le diamètre de l'atome est de l'ordre de 10[exposant]-8 cm, celui du noyau de 10[exposant]-12 cm, c'est-à-dire 10 000 fois plus petit. 3, record 1, French, - structure%20de%20l%27atome
