Question

07. Using Slater rules, find out the shielding Constant and effective nuclear Charge of a 3d - electron in Zinc [atomic number =30)
​

Answer 1

Answer:

nuclear charge of zinc is 8.85

Explanation:

Effective nuclear charge’ on 3d electron of Zinc is 8.85.

To find:

The value of “effective nuclear charge” on the 3d electron of the zinc.

Solution:

From the question, we know that  

Effective nuclear charge  

Z=atomic number

Zinc atomic number (z) = 30

σ= Shielding constant

Electronic configuration

For 3d electrons,

=30 - 21.15  

=8.85

Therefore, Effective nuclear charge on 3d electron of Zinc is 8.85.
