I think you will find the concept of "atom", "list" and "S-expression" after you read the fist chapter.

The book isn't the traditional book that teaches you what one concept is and then provides examples. It uses Q&A style to explain the concept of Scheme and functional programming with examples.

In another word, the questions are not for you to answer, it's a way to guide you to thinking.
