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.

Question

6a. Some ligands are multifunctional; that is, they have two or more atoms which can bind to the central metal
atom or ion. Each binding site occupies a different corner on the coordination surface. Ethylenediamine, which
is abbreviated "en," is such a ligand; the two binding atoms are nitrogens, and the two binding sites must be cis
to each other. How many geometrical isomers of [Cr(en)2Cl₂]* should exist? Which isomers should be chiral?
