What is screening effect? |
| Answer» Solution :Screening effect: The REPULSIVE FORCE between inner shell electrons and the valence electrons leads to a DECREASE in the electrostatic attractive forces ACTING on the valence electrons by the nucleus. Thus the inner shell electrons act as a shield between the nucleus and the valence electrons. This effect is called SHIELDING effect (or) screening effect. | |
