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.

Bromine has two stable isotopes: 79Br and 81Br with masses of 78.9183371 amu and 80.9162906 amu. If the average atomic mass for Bromine on Earth is 79.904 amu, what is the mass of 79Br in a 10.0 g sample? Hint: Set the abundance of the 79Br isotope equal to x. Then the abundance of the other isotope will equal 1−x. Your answer should have three significant figures, so round to the nearest hundredth.
