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.
Which atom is more likely to lose an electron (has a lower ionization energy):
Mg or S? Ca or F?
Li or Be? Na or Cl?
(1) among Mg and S
S will release the electron because the configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4
to attain the Stabler configuration i.e. 3p3
whereas Mg 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 has stable doublet in valance 3s.
2) among Ca and F
Though F is Electronegative but it'll release the electron easily as compared to Ca
