Question

Classify each statement about penetration and shielding as true or false. Assume all lower-energy orbitals are fully occupied.

Classify each statement about penetration and shielding as true or false. Assume all lower-energy orbitals are fully occupied True False Answer Bank 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. An electron in a 2s orbital penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons more than electrons in a 2p orbital. An electron in an orbital that penetrates close to the nucleus will tend to experience a higher effective nuclear charge than one that does not. An electron in a 4s orbital is less shielded than an electron in a 3s orbital.

Answer 1

the penetrating power is as follows => s > p > d > f

so s orbitals more shielded and feels more effective nuclear charge
