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.
How many orbitals are contained within the 3s subshell?
Please enter an integer value (whole number) ?
Determine the number of orbitals in the 3s-subshell.
The number of orbitals present in a given sub-shell is given by (2l+1)
where l = Azimuthal quantum number which gives shape and energy of the sub-shell present in a given shell.
