Shapes of Atomic Orbitals
Different atomic orbitals have different shapes. In other words, they describe different probability distributions for the electrons that surround the nucleus. One of the reasons why orbitals vary in energy … Read more
Electron Orbitals
Electron orbitals are areas within the atom where electrons are most likely to be located. Electrons are not merely floating around within the atom; rather, they are confined within electron orbitals. … Read more
Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Principle, Instrumentation, Applications, Advantages, Limitations
Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) is a type of emission spectroscopy that uses Inductively coupled plasma to excite atoms or ions, resulting in electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength specific to … Read more
Atomic Structures And Properties
Atomic structure is the arrangement of subatomic particles within the atom. An atom is a complicated configuration of negatively charged electrons grouped around a positively charged nucleus in certain shells. … Read more
Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry: Principle, Instrumentation, Application, Limitation
Atomic absorption spectrophotometry is a widely used analytical technique that involves the measurement of the absorption of electromagnetic radiation by atoms in the gas phase. Spectrophotometry is a scientific technique … Read more
Energy Level, Shell, Subshell: Atomic Model
An atom’s energy level is the amount of energy contained in its orbitals. An atom is typically made up of electrons that revolve in set orbits around its nucleus. They … Read more
Molecular Orbital Theory: Definition, Postulates LCAO Method, Bond Order
The molecular orbital theory was developed by Hund and Mulliken in 1932 and later by Lennerd Jones and Coulson. This theory is also known as the Hund-Mulliken theory. In 1996, … Read more
Atomic radii- Definition, Types and Periodic variation
The atomic radius of an element is the typical distance from the center of the nucleus to the boundary surrounding the electron cloud. Since the boundary is not a well-defined … Read more
