A student modeled the process of dissociation using google drawing. Discuss if this model is accurate depiction of dissociation. If not, suggest the Dissociation H correction. HA H Cl- H.
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.
Since the dissociation of a salt is depicted here in cation Na+ and Cl- anion.
Cation is positively charged so it can only be surrounded by negatively ion or partially negative charge carrying species. So Na+ should be surrounded by Oxygen atom of water molecules.
Similarly Anion is negatively charged so it should be surrounded by positively charged species. So Cl- should be surrounded by Hydrogen atoms of water molecules.
