Question
Classify each statement about effective nuclear charge, Zeff , as true or false. 
 
Electrons in an s orbital are more effective than those in other orbitals at shielding other electrons from the nuclear charge. 
 
In a B atom, a 1s electron has a greater Zeff than a 2s electron. 
 
Effective nuclear charge increases from left to right across a period on a periodic table. 
 
Across a period, as Zeff increases, atomic size increases. 
 
Effective nuclear charge does not depend on the number of electrons present in an atom. 
 
A 1s atom in a B atom has a smaller Zeff than a 1s electron in a Be atom.
