How does the effective nuclear chargeexperienced by the valence electrons of an atom vary going fromleft to right across a period of the periodic table?


1. Going from left to right across a period, nuclear chargeincreases while the number of electrons in the core is constant.This results in a increase in Zeff.

2. Going from left to right across a period, nuclear chargeremains approximately the same while the number of electrons in thecore decreases. This results in a increase in Zeff.

3. Going from left to right across a period, nuclear chargedecreases while the number of electrons in the core is constant.This results in a decrease in Zeff.

4. Going from left to right across a period, nuclear chargeremains approximately the same while the number of electrons in thecore increases. This results in a decrease in Zeff.
