Answer
Nuclear Shell Model: A theory that describes the structure of atomic nuclei, explaining how protons and neutrons are organized within the nucleus. Visualizing the nucleus as a series of concentric shells, each with a specific energy level, the model predicts the properties and behavior of various isotopes and helps understand nuclear stability, radioactive decay, and nuclear reactions.
