Periodic Trend: Effective Nuclear Charge

10. Periodic Properties of the Elements / Periodic Trend: Effective Nuclear Charge / Problem 3

Problem 3

Consider the following elements: In, Sn, Zr, Te, Sr.
List the elements from the most to least Z_effexperienced by the electrons in the n = 3 shell.

Te > Sn> In > Zr> Sr

Sr> Te > Sn> In > Zr

In > Zr > Sr> Te > Sn

Sn> Te> In > Zr > Sr

Consider the following elements: In, Sn, Zr, Te, Sr.List the elements from the most to least Zeff experienced by the electrons in the n = 3 shell.
