The higher you are on the Periodic Table, the less energy levels of electrons there are in each atom, and therefore the less nuclear shielding.

Yes, shielding increases as you move down a group in the periodic table.

As you move from the bottom of the periodic table to the top shielding increases or decreases?

decreases


Why does shielding increase as you move down a group in the periodic table?

As you move down a group in the periodic table, shielding increases because there are more electron shells surrounding the nucleus. These additional electron shells act as a barrier, reducing the attraction between the nucleus and outer electrons, thus increasing shielding.

Where is a covalent bond found on a periodic table?

you cannot find a covalent bond on a period table dumbfak. On the periodic table you can only find elements, at their lowest level.


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 increases down a group in the periodic table, as more electron shells are added. This reduces the effective nuclear charge experienced by the outermost electron, making it easier for that electron to be removed or participate in chemical reactions.
