Answer each question True or False and provide explanation when is possible (1) In a hydrogenic atom, a shielding constant is very small. (2) In hydrogenic atoms, the size of the atom increases when the atomic number increases. (3) Spin-orbit coupling is the interaction between spins of different electrons. (4) In a many-electron atom, within the same shell, s orbitals have lower energy than p-orbitals
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.
