Strontium has a ground state configuration of 5s electrons, from the excitation of electron in the 5p as (5s15p1 ) and in the 3d subshell as 5s1 4d1, determine the terms and levels for these two excited configurations. Selection rules: (a) ΔS = 0, (b) ΔL = 0, ±1, (c) ΔJ = 0, ±1 (except for J = 0 → J = 0).
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.
