Structure of the Atom
At the center of the atom is the nucleus, where the protons and neutrons are
The protons and neutrons are packed tightly together
The electrons circle the nucleus in shells
As these shells move further away from the nucleus they have higher energy levels
The first shell, n=1 can hold only 2 electrons
However, every other shell can hold up to 8 electrons
