1.	The unpaired electrons in Al and Si are present in 3p orbital. Which electron will experience more effective charge from the nucleus?
Answer» SOLUTION :Silicon has GREATER NUCLEAR charge `(+14)` than aluminium `(+13)`. Hence, the unpaired 3p ELECTRON in case of silicon will experience more effective nuclear charge.
