1.) How do different atomic theories differ from Daltons atomic theory? 2.) Why did Rutherford think that atoms are mostly empty space? 3.) Are the electrons, protons, neutrons that make up an oxygen atom the same as the electrons, protons, neutrons that make up a plutonium atom? 4.) Are oxygen atoms the same as plutonium atoms? 5.) In Rutherford’s experiment, why were some particles deflected a small amount? 6.) Describe how Dalton’s theory was supported and challenged by the development of modern atomic theory. 7.) One isotope of beryllium has an atomic number of 4 and a mass number of 9. Draw a model of a beryllium atom, labeling the protons, neutrons, and electrons. Also label the charge of each particle.
Atomic Structure
The basic structure of an atom is defined as the component-level of atomic structure of an atom. Precisely speaking an atom consists of three major subatomic particles which are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Many theories have been stated for explaining the structure of an atom.
Shape of the D Orbital
Shapes of orbitals are an approximate representation of boundaries in space for finding electrons occupied in that respective orbital. D orbitals are known to have a clover leaf shape or dumbbell inside where electrons can be found.
