Question

How are the shielding effect and the size of the atomic radius related?

Answer 1

Answer:

• shielding completely effect the size of atoms
• as shielding effect increases size of atom increases
• let us understand it why
• we can understand it with an example of a wall and a magnet
• ANS when we put the magnet in front of a nail or any iron obstical it attacked it too much but when we put it behind any wall then its attraction force get reduced similarly
• when orbitals in any atom increases its attracting power to outermost electron decreases this is called shielding effect and it effect the size of atomic radius

Answer 2

Answer:

Shielding is when electrons in the inner electron shells of an atom can shield the outer electrons from the pull of the nucleus. The nucleus can pull the outer electrons in tighter when the attraction is strong and less tight when the attraction is weakened. ... This means the atomic radius will be larger.
