Neutron diffraction, like X-ray diffraction, is useful in some kinds of structure determinations. What is the de Broglie wavelength of a neutron (mass = 1.009 amu) moving at a velocity of 6.81 x 106 meters per second?
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.
According to De Broglie just as light has both wave-like and particle-like properties, electrons and all other particles also have wave-like and particle-like properties.
