Everything around us – all matter – can be broken down into its core components. Take a book for example. You know that a book is made of paper on which text is printed using ink. But the paper, in turn, is made of cellulose fibers derived from plant sources. Cellulose itself is the structural component of the primary cell wall in green plants consisting of thousands of linked glucose units. Each unit can be broken down even further into even smaller parts.
The basic unit of matter is known as atoms. An atom consists of a dense central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged particles known as electrons. They are the building blocks of any matter. Atoms are very tiny, they are smaller than anything that we can imagine or compare with. The radii of isolated neutral atoms are in between 30 and 300 pm. No doubt an atom is an extremely small particle of matter but it always retains its identity during chemical reactions.
How can you represent different atoms? There should be universal ways to symbolize all atoms. You must know that initially, Latin was the common language of science, they were abbreviations based on the Latin names of metals. The concept of an atom comes from Dalton’s atomic theory. Dalton’s atomic theory was formulated by John Dalton (1766-184) as English chemist in 1803. Let’s have a look at this theory with its postulates and applications.
