Question

The unpaired electrons in Al and Si are present in 3p orbital. Which electrons will experience more effective nuclear charge from the nucleus?

Answer 1

Nuclear charge is defined as the net positive charge experienced by an electron in a multi-electron atom.

Silicon has greater nuclear charge(+14) than aluminium (+13).

Hence the unpaired 3p electron in case of silicon will experience more effective nuclear charge.
