Question
Draw the geometric atomic structure of the following atom showing the number of electrons, protons and neutrons in them:
\[\ce{^40_20Ca}\]
Advertisements
Solution
Geometric atomic structure of:

A = P + n
40 = 20 + n
∴ n = 40 − 20 = 20 neutrons
e = 20
Electronic arrangement 2, 8, 8, 2
K L M N
