They are quite different terms, penetration means the entrance of rays or any material into another material, shielding effect is the resistance offered by underlying electrons for attractive force of nucleus towards outermost electrons in an atom.

Shielding.


What is the shielding effect trend?

The reduction in the force of attraction between the nucleus and outer most electron is known as shielding effect


Penetrating effect of atomic orbitals?

An s orbital is closer to the nucleus than a p orbital, so it shields outer electrons more than a p orbital does. Therefore, it's penetration effect is greater than the p orbital's. The penetration effect is the tendency of orbitals closer to the nucleus shielding outer electrons.

What is meant by screening effect?

Screening effect also known as shielding effect is when the electron in the outermost orbital faces inter electronic repulsion from the inner electrons, thus reducing the effective nucleur charge.
