Write isotope symbols for atoms with the following characteristics. a) Contains 18 electrons and 20 neutrons; b) A calcium atom with a mass number of 40; c) An arsenic atom that contains 42 neutrons
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.
