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.

Atomic Number
An atom can be thought of as being
formed from a number of combined 'H
atoms with additional neutrons in the
nucleus. The mass of an atom is less
than that of the combined masses of
the nuclear particles from which it is
formed. This "mass loss" is an
indication of the stablity of the atom's
nucleus. In order to compare different
atoms, the relative mass loss (in g/mol)
is defined as:
[(number protons x mass of 'H)+(number of neutrons x mass of n)] - atomic mass
number of protons + number of neutrons
The atom's binding energy (the energy
associated with holding the nucleus
together) can be calculated as:
relative mass loss (kg/mol) x (2.998 x 10°m/s)
The resulting units are joules/mole.
Because calculating the relative mass
loss involves dividing by the total
number of nucleons (protons +
neutrons), the binding energy is called
the 'binding energy per nucleon.'
