What is the need of atomic models?

Atomic models tell us about the structure of an atom which is based on what we know about how atoms behave. But it is not necessary that it will be a genuine picture of the structure of an atom.

What does the Roman numeral above the group tell us about the structure of the atom?

If you are referring to GROUP NUMBER when you say "Roman numeral above the group", it tells you the number of valence electrons, or the number of outermost electrons, with transition metals being the exception. For group number XII - XVIII the number of valence electrons is the group number minus 10 (minus 10 for the 10 transition groups).


Property you cant determine about an atom from the atomic chart is?
