Synopsis

This  unit  discusses  topics necessary for the  student  to  gain  an
understanding  of  the  fundamental building  blocks  of  matter.  The
concepts studied are related to the structure and properties  of  both
the  atom  and  the  nucleus.  A  range of  current  applications  are
discussed  in order to clarify and support the theories. A  series  of
compulsory  practical  exercises are  undertaken  to  demonstrate  the
principles involved.
