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) Use the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to calculate Δx for an electron with Δv = 0.425 m/s.
B) By what factor is the uncertainty of the (above) electron's position larger than the diameter of the hydrogen atom?
(Assume the diameter of the hydrogen atom is 1.00×10-8 cm.)
C) Use the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to calculate Δx for a ball (mass = 122 g, diameter = 8.50 cm) with Δv = 0.425 m/s.
D) The uncertainty of the (above) ball's position is equal to what factor times the diameter of the ball?
