Particle diagrams are visual representations used in chemistry to illustrate the arrangement and interactions of particles in a substance.
Imagine you're trying to explain how people are arranged at a concert. You could draw a diagram showing where people are standing, sitting, or dancing - this would be similar to a particle diagram in chemistry!
Molecular Structure: The three-dimensional arrangement of atoms within a molecule.
Atomic Structure: The arrangement of protons, neutrons, and electrons within an atom.
