The natural abundance of the three stable isotopes are 90.92% isotope A (19.9924 amu), 0.3104% isotope B (20.9938 amu), and 9.1784% isotope C (22.0330 amu). Calculate the relative (or average) atomic mass of this element and compare your value with that given in the Periodic Table to identify the likely element. (Note: The units of atomic mass are atomic mass units (amu).
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.
