Question

Identify the statement that would be a good adjustment to Slater's rules to account for the difference in electronic penetration of the nucleus for 3s, 3p, and 3d orbitals. Use the radial probability distribution curve below as a reference.

Graph showing radial probability distribution for 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, and 3d orbitals.

Accepted Answer

Assign a shielding value of s slightly larger than that of p and a value for p slightly larger than that of d.

Answer

Assign equally larger shielding values for s, p, and d.

Answer

Assign a shielding value of s slightly smaller than that of p and a value for p smaller larger than that of d.

Answer

Assign equally smaller shielding values for s, p, and d.
