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.

A sample of lithium consists of 400 atoms. 30 atoms are the isotope Lithium-6 (6.015 amu) and 370 are Lithium-7 (7.016 amu). Which student correctly calculated the correct average atomic mass and why? Student 1 calculated the average atomic mass as 6.94 amu. Student 1 determined the percent abundance for each isotope and then multiplied the percent abundance by the average atomic mass of its isotope and took the sum. Student 2 calculated the average atomic mass as 6.52 amu. Student 2 took the average of the mass of the two isotopes of lithium. Student 3 calculated the average atomic mass as 1.06 amu. Student 3 took the sum of the average atomic masses of the isotopes and multiplied by the ratio of lithium-6 to lithium-7. Student 4 calculated the average mass as 13.0 amu. Student 4 added the mass of the two isotopes.
