Copper has 2 stable isotopes, namely Cu-63 and Cu-65. The atomic masses of the said isotopes are 62.930 u and 64.928 u, respectively. If Cu-63 comprises 69.17% of all the naturally-occurring copper and the rest is Cu-65, what is the standard atomic weight of copper?
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.
