Question
Part A) What value do you estimate for Zeff experienced by the outermost electron in both Na and K by assuming core electrons contribute 1.00 and valence electrons contribute 0.00 to the screening constant?Part B) What values do you estimate for Zeff using Slater's rules?
Part C) Which approach gives a more accurate estimate of Zeff ?
1. The first method.
2. The second (Slater) method.
Part D) Does either method of approximation account for the gradual increase in Zeff that occurs upon moving down a group?
1. Yes, both methods account for the gradual increase in Zeff.
2. Yes, the first method accounts for the gradual increase in .
3. Yes, the second method accounts for the gradual increase in .
4. No, neither of the methods above accounts for the gradual increase in
