    Learning Objective

    To learn about the electronic structure of atoms

    Chemistry, the interaction of atoms and molecules with each other, is principally governed by the electrons which are bound most weakly to the nucleus. In this chapter we learn about the electronic structure of atoms and how this is related to the properties of the atoms
