Question

Why shielding effect of electrons make cation formation easy

Answer 1

inioziation energy make the shielding effect of electrons to make the cation formation easy

Answer 2

The reason why the shielding effect of electrons makes cation formation easy is as follows:

• The shielding effect depends on the two types of forces: a) attraction of valance electrons and nucleus and b) repulsion between valance electrons and inner lined electrons.
• These two forces oppose each other and give the inner electron shell the shielding effect property.
• When this repulsive force between electrons becomes more than that attractive force between valance electrons and nucleus, then the electrons get released forming a cation in the process.
• The reduction of ionization energy by the screening effect is the technical reason why easily a cation can form.
