Explain how periodic trends in ionization energy and electron affinity explain why atoms of elements in Group I and Group II tend to bond with other elements by forming positive ions in ionic compounds. Explain with electron configuration of elements belonging to Group I and Group II.
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.
