Detailed calculations show that the value of Zeff for the outermost electrons in Si and Cl atoms is 4.29 and 6.12 +, respectively. (a) What value do you estimate for Zeff experienced by the outermost electron in both Si and Cl by assuming core electrons contribute 1.00 and valence electrons contribute 0.00 to the screening constant? (b) What values do you estimate for Zeff using Slater's rules? (c) Which approach gives a more accurate estimate of Zeff(d) Which method of approximation more accurately accounts for the steady increase in Zeffthat occurs upon moving left to right across a period? (e) Predict Zeff for a valence electron in P, phosphorus, based on the calculations for Si and Cl.

- would you predict that Sc is metallic? Explain the basis for your predicition by using what you know about its location in the Periodic Table.arrow_forwardThe first ionization energy of aluminium (element 13) is lower than that of magnesium(element 12).i) Give the electronic structures of magnesium and of aluminium in s, p and dnotation.ii) Explain the difference in the first ionization energies of the two metals.arrow_forwardI need help with this question that is attached. Table 1.4 gave the ionic radii in pm. For k+ it was 138(6), 151(8),159(10) and for f- it was 128(2), 132(4), 133(6). Table 1. 5 gave ionization energies in kj/mol. For k they were 419, 3051 and 4410. For f it was 1681,3375, and 6050. Table 1.6 gave electron affinities in kj/mol and for k it was 48 and for f it was 328. I've also attached the resource tablearrow_forward
