Naturally occurring tungsten metal is composed of three stable isotopes: 182 74W, with a natural abundance of 25%; 183 74W, abundance 14%; and 18474W, abundance 31%. Tungsten also has the highest melting point of any element at 3695 K. If a sample of tungsten were held at its melting point for 10 h, would you expect the natural abundances of its isotopes to change? If so, which would increase the most? Which would decrease the most?
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.
