Question

diff b/w screening and shielding effect?

Answer 1

The shielding effect is when the electron and the nucleus in an atom have a decrease in attraction which changes the nuclear charge  like in nuclear fission when electrons furthest from the center of the atom are pulled away.

Screening effect- It is described as a decrease in shielding effort between the nucleus and last orbital due to electrons present between them i.e., greater the screening effect, easier the removal of electron.
