We learned about three different models describing a stable atom. In three to five sentences, answer the following questions. Use any figures or sketches if necessary. a) Describe why the Rutherford’s planetary model is wrong. b) What is the basic hypothesis to solve for the Bohr model? c) What is the major limitation of the Bohr model and why
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.
