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


Why is electron shielding not a factor when you examine a trend across a period?

Electron shielding is not a factor across a period because they all have the same number of electron shells! No further (extra) shells means that they are all affected by electron shielding equally.


In going down a group in the periodic table what effect does electron shielding generally have on the effective nuclear charge acting on the outermost electron in an atom?

Electron shielding decreases the effective nuclear charge.


The attraction of the nucleus for the outer electrons in large atoms is lessened as a result of?

Its all called electron shielding.


Do all of the noble gases have at least 3 electron shielding layers?

No, not all noble gases have at least 3 electron shielding layers. The noble gas helium (He) has only two electron shielding layers, while the remaining noble gases (Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, and Radon) have three or more electron shielding layers.


The addition of electron shells results in?

The addition of electron shells results in more shielding of electrons from the nucleus.


In which orbital does an electron in a phosphorus atom experience the greatest shielding?

1s


How many shielding atoms does magnesium have?

Magnesium has 3 electron shells.


The fewer electron shells the shielding of electrons from the nucleus.?

less


What is the factor that affects the atomic number in an element?

More shielding of the outer electrons by the inner electrons is the most important factor that affects the atomic number in an element. A valence electron in an atom is attracted to the nucleus of an atom and is repelled by the other electrons in the atom. The inner electrons shield the outer electrons from the attraction of the nucleus and cause the atomic radius to be larger.


An electron in an orbital that penetrates closer to the nucleus will always experience more shielding than an electron in an orbital that does not penetrate as far?

False


What is the purpose of the core charge model?

So that we may understand how the shielding affects the core charge.
