The bromine atom possesses 35 electrons. It has 6 electrons in 2p orbi

1.	The bromine atom possesses 35 electrons. It has 6 electrons in 2p orbital, 6 electrons in 3p orbital and 5 electrons in 4p orbital. Which of these electron experiences the lowest effective nuclear charge?
Answer» Bromine (Atomic No. 35) = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 2p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁵ 2p orbital has 6 electrons. 3p orbital has 6 electrons and 4p orbital has 5 electrons. 4p electron experience lowest effective nuclear charge because of the maximum of screening or shielding effect.

Answer»

Bromine (Atomic No. 35) = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 2p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁵

2p orbital has 6 electrons.

3p orbital has 6 electrons and 4p orbital has 5 electrons.

4p electron experience lowest effective nuclear charge because of the maximum of screening or shielding effect.
