Question

: (c) Calculate effective nuclear charge of 3d electrom in Zn atom.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

‘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.
