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.

In an analysis of chromium in steel containing 1.76% Cr. 0.5000 g of that steel is weighed and dissolved in acid, whereupon the Cr is oxidized to Cr2O72- (dichromate), and blunt to a volume of 250 mL. A 10 mL aliquot of this solution is diluted with water and acid to a final volume of 100 mL. The resulting solution shows a transmittance of 41.7% in a 1 cm pathlength cell.
