Question

calculate effective nuclear charge of cl- ion​

Answer 1

Answer:

For both parts, look at the electron configuration and do a rough estimate of the effective nuclear charge: Zeff = Z – σ. Where σ is “shielding” from the inner shell electrons. a. Cl: [Ne]3s23p5 Zeff = 17-10=7 (There are 10 electrons in the inner, neon, core.)
