Interactions & Atomic Theory

The way atoms behave is important for us to consider as it supplies us with a concrete meaning as to why interactions between atoms and molecules occur. It sets the foundation for explaining the reasons why ions are formed and why certain atoms are larger than others.

Atomic theory helps lead us into a discussion about the bigger picture; molecule interactions and helps explain how water is held together; and why ions are attracted to one another. Sit back and relax as we learn a little more why atoms and molecules behave the way they do.
