Question

The screening effect of inner electrons of the nucleus causes what????

Answer 1

OK..... ..............

Answer 2

Answer:

(1) A decrease in the ionization energy

Explanation:

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from the outermost shell of the atom.

The screening effect of the inner electrons on the nucleus causes a decrease in the attractive force of the nucleus and the outer electron. Since the electron is not attracted as much due to this screening effect, it is easier to pull it out of the atom and the energy required to do so, i.e., the ionization energy decreases.
