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.

Answer to Problem 5RQ

The symbol is B49e .

Explanation of Solution

Protons are defined as a positively charged (+ve) sub-atomic particles/ units found in the nucleus of an atom. Number of Protons are equals to the atomic number. Electron are negatively charged subatomic particles found orbiting the nucleus of an atom. Number of Electron are equals to number of protons. Neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom which are neutral.

Symbol of any chemical is a short hand way to represent any element. It tells us what atom it is. First letter code for a chemical element is always capital.

Number of Protons: 4

Number of Electrons: 4

Number of Neutrons: 5

Mass number of Beryllium: 9

Chemical symbol for Beryllium atom that has 5 neutrons: B49e
