a. Atoms of the same element that have different masses are called isotopes b. The masses of isotopes vary because they have a different number of electrons c. The mass number of an isotope is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus d. The mass number of an isotope is the total number of protons and neutrons, but without being given the number of electrons. e. Every atom of a particular element
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.
Which of the following statements is false?
a. Atoms of the same element that have different masses are called isotopes
b. The masses of isotopes vary because they have a different number of
