Atomic Structure Exam Quiz
Settings
Electrons are the smallest of the three particles that make up atoms. Electrons are found in shells or orbitals that surround the nucleus of an atom. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus. Test out how much you know about atomic structure by taking the quiz below. All the best!
