As we saw in the previous problem, lithium has two naturally occurring isotopes: Li-6 (natural abundance 7.5%; mass 6.0151 amu) and Li-7 (natural abundance 92.5%; mass7.0160 amu). Without doing any calculations, determine which mass is closest to the atomic mass of Li. a. 6.00 amu b. 6.50 amu c. 7.00 amu
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.
As we saw in the previous problem, lithium has two naturally occurring isotopes: Li-6 (
a. 6.00 amu b. 6.50 amu c. 7.00 amu
