This document provides a summary of chapter 4 on atomic structure: 1. It discusses early atomic theories from Democritus and Dalton, including Dalton's four postulates that atoms are indivisible, identical for a given element, combine in fixed ratios, and reactions involve rearrangement not destruction of atoms. 2. It describes the discovery of subatomic particles including electrons, protons, and neutrons. The nuclear model places the protons and neutrons in the nucleus with electrons orbiting. 3. Key terms are defined including atomic number, mass number, and isotopes. Isotopes are varieties of the same element that differ in neutron number.
