Atomic Structure and Electron Configuration

The video tutorial explains the atomic structure of aluminum using a Bohr model. It covers the atomic number, which equals the number of protons, and describes how electrons are distributed across three energy levels. The tutorial highlights the importance of valence electrons in chemical bonding and provides additional resources for understanding electron configuration and neutrons.
