Periodic Trend: Effective Nuclear Charge
10. Periodic Properties of the Elements / Periodic Trend: Effective Nuclear Charge / Problem 1
The Zeff values for the outermost electrons in Mg and Ca atoms derived from a set of quantum mechanical calculations are 3.31+ and 4.40+, respectively. Based on the trend for the values calculated for Mg and Ca, estimate the Zeff value for the Sr atom.
