"Atomic physics is the field of physics that studies atoms as an isolated system of electrons and an atomic nucleus."
Study of the behavior of atoms and their interactions with radiation.
Structure of the Atom: An introduction to the basic structure of an atom, including the nucleus and electron shells.
Bohr Model of the Atom: A model of the atom in which electrons orbit the nucleus in discrete energy levels or shells.
Quantum Mechanics: A theory that describes the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic levels.
Wave-Particle Duality: The idea that particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior depending on the nature of the experiment.
Electron Configuration: A description of how electrons are arranged in the various orbitals around an atom.
Periodic Table: A table that arranges elements based on their atomic structure, providing an organized method for predicting chemical reactions and properties.
Nuclear Physics: The study of the behavior and properties of atomic nuclei, including topics such as radioactivity, nuclear fusion, and nuclear fission.
Atomic Spectra: Patterns of light emitted or absorbed by atoms when they are excited, which can be used to identify elements and study their properties.
Molecular Bonding: The way in which atoms combine to form molecules, including covalent bonding and ionic bonding.
Atomic Energy Levels: The different energy levels that electrons can occupy around the nucleus of an atom, and how these levels can change due to absorption or emission of energy.
"Atomic physics typically refers to the study of atomic structure and the interaction between atoms."
"It is primarily concerned with the way in which electrons are arranged around the nucleus and the processes by which these arrangements change."
"Unless otherwise stated, it can be assumed that the term atom includes ions."
"The term atomic physics can be associated with nuclear power and nuclear weapons, due to the synonymous use of atomic and nuclear in standard English."
"Physicists distinguish between atomic physics—which deals with the atom as a system consisting of a nucleus and electrons—and nuclear physics, which studies nuclear reactions and special properties of atomic nuclei."
"As with many scientific fields, strict delineation can be highly contrived and atomic physics is often considered in the wider context of atomic, molecular, and optical physics."
"This comprises ions, neutral atoms and, unless otherwise stated, it can be assumed that the term atom includes ions."
"Physics research groups are usually classified into atomic, molecular, and optical physics."
