Question

The effective nuclear charge reduces in increase in which Quantum number?

Answer 1

Explanation:

the effective nuclear charge reduces in increasing the azmuthal quantum number

Answer 2

The effective nuclear charge decreases with increase in Azimuthal quantum number.

This is the correct answer as due to increase in azimuthal quantum number, the effective nuclear charge will decrease continuously due to shielding effect.

This is due to the shielding effect which reduces the effective nuclear charge felt by the electrons. Thus, the effective nuclear charge will go on decreasing.
