Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus, atomic physics explores the structure and interactions of atoms as isolated systems. It encompasses ions and neutral atoms, examining how these arrangements evolve. While it intersects with nuclear power and weapons, atomic physics is distinct from nuclear physics, which centers on nuclear reactions. The field is often viewed alongside atomic, molecular, and optical physics, highlighting its integral role in understanding atomic behavior within a broader scientific context.
