Electron shielding decreases the effective nuclear charge.
a) How is the concept of effective nuclear charge used to simplify the numerous electron-electron repulsions in a many-electron atom?Effective Nuclear Charge- the (net) positive charge experienced by an electron in a many electron atom. This charge is not the full nuclear charge. It accounts for the shielding of the nucleus by other electrons in the atom.The nucleus is surrounded by electrons. These electrons are shielded from the nucleus by electron repulsions. The effective nuclear charge is less than the actual nuclear charge because the repulsions of the electrons needs to be taken into account.This is done in the equationZeff = Z (protons) - S (screening constant, the inner core amount of electrons)b) Which experiences a greater effective nuclear charge in a Be atom, the 1s electrons or the 2s electrons?The 1s electrons would have a greater nuclear charge. The number of electrons between the 1s electrons and the nucleus is less than the number of electrons between the 2s electrons and the nucleus. This means the screening constant is larger. When you subtract the larger amount of electrons from the amount of protons, 4, the difference will be less, meaning the value of the effective nuclear charge will be less.

Krypton is an element, and all elements are the result of nuclear fission, nuclear fusion or radioactive decay. Krypton is one of the byproducts of the nuclear fission of Uranium and Plutonium, either from atomic bombs or nuclear reactors. Since Krypton is not one of the results of a natural radioactive decay chain, the only other possible source of Krypton is from nuclear fusion, and the only source of fusion powerful enough to produce it would be a supernova.
In nuclear reactors, krypton can absorb enough neutrons to slow or stop the chain reaction.

Effective nuclear charge is the net charge of an electron in an atom.Z(eff) = Z - S where:Z - atomic numberS - number of shielding electrons

Yes, when an effective nuclear charge increases it does pull the electrons closer to the nucleus. An electron is a negatively charged part of an atom.
Bromine has five 4p electrons.

Krypton-85 is a radioactive isotope of krypton. It is not found naturally in significant quantities but is produced through nuclear fission reactions in nuclear power plants, as well as during the reprocessing of nuclear fuel and the detonation of nuclear weapons. So, it is considered a synthetic isotope.
It is dependent on the proton number (effective nuclear charge) and the number of electron shells (row number).
