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 explain…

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.

Students have asked these similar questions

The electron configuration can also be represented by writing the symbol for the occupied subshell and adding a superscript to indicate the number of electrons in that subshell. For example, consider a carbon atom having an atomic number of 6. The total number of electrons in a neutral carbon atom is 6. The electron configuration of the carbon atom represented by the orbital diagram is This electron configuration can be written as C-1111 18 28 2p 1² 28² 2p² where 1s, 2s, and 2p are the occupied subshells, and the superscript "2" is the number of electrons in each of these subshells Use the rules for determining electron configurations to write the electron configuration for Ca Express your answer in complete form in order of orbital filling. For example, 1s 2s should be entered as 15 225 2. ▸ View Available Hint(s)

Outline the electron configurations of many-electron atoms in terms of their location in the periodic table.

Addition of one electron gives the bromine atom a (less or more) stable electron configuration of [Kr], the noble gas next to it in the periodic table.Addition of an electron to a barium atom would produce a (less or more) stable electron configuration since it does not achieve the configuration of a nearby noble gas.
