To describe: An atom and the way in which atomic structure affects interactions between atoms.
Introduction: In the simplest level of organization, the human body consists of various chemical structures. Different chemical structure play significant role for several reactions taking place inside a living cell.
Explanation of Solution
An atom is the smallest particle of an element. A particular element is made up of only one type of atoms. The atoms consist of three sub-atomic particles, namely protons, electrons, and neutrons. The electron configuration of an atom helps to interact with other atoms. Particularly, the outermost electrons of an atom interact with other atoms and form bond by sharing or transferring electrons to other atoms.
