Atomic Structure

This document provides sample multiple choice questions and answers about atomic structure from past IGCSE Chemistry exams. It covers topics like the atomic and nucleon numbers of elements, isotopes, the subatomic particles that make up an atom (protons, neutrons, electrons), and the relative numbers of these particles in different atoms and isotopes of the same element. The questions are designed to test students' understanding of fundamental concepts in atomic structure that are important for the IGCSE Chemistry exam.
