Potassium occurs naturally as two isotopes. The heavier isotope has percentage abundance of 93.1. The light atom has mass number of 39 and the heavier one 41. The lighter one has proton number of 19. I. Give the chemical symbol of potassium Ii. Give the representation of the two isotopes of potassium. Iii. What is the proton number of the heavier atom? Iv. Calculate the relative atomic mass of potassium.
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.
