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.

Freon-12 (CF2Cl2), widely used as a refrigerant and aerosol propellant, is a dangerous airpollutant. In the troposphere, it traps heat 25 times as effectively as CO2, and in thestratosphere, it participates in the breakdown of ozone. Freon-12 is prepared industrially byreaction of gaseous carbon tetrachloride with hydrogen fluoride. Hydrogen chloride gasalso forms. How many grams of carbon tetrachloride are required for the production of16.0 dm3 of Freon-12 at 27°C and 1.20 atm?

1. One of the first families of rockets used by the American space program was the Redstonefamily of rockets. The first Redstone rockets (in the 1950s) used B10H14 (often called decaborane)as a rocket fuel that reacts violently with liquid di-oxygen to make diboron trioxide and steam.When used as a rocket fuel, scientists carefully calculated the amount necessary so that bothcomponents ran out at the same time. (Excess fuel would be excess weight for the rocket tocarry.) If the total mass of both reactants put together is 12.0  104 kg, what was the volume ofliquid di-oxygen carried by the rockets? (Liquid di-oxygen has a density of 1.141 g/mL.)
