Atom Anatomy: Your AP Chem Quiz Cram Session

Staring down your AP Chemistry quiz on atomic theory? Don't sweat it! We're about to demystify the atom, from the earliest ideas to the complex models we use today. Think of this as your ultimate study guide. We'll cover:

• The evolution of the atomic model, from Dalton's simple sphere to the modern wave-mechanical model.
• How electrons create colorful bright-line spectra (the science behind fireworks!).
• A deep dive into subatomic particles in both neutral atoms and charged ions.
• A step-by-step guide to calculating average atomic mass like a pro.
