Effective nuclear charge
« on: May 03, 2021, 03:09:04 PM »
About the electron that is being analyzed for the effective nuclear charge equation: why is one electron always subtracted from the total numbers of electrons when you are calculating the shielding constant?
I've searched in many sites, but I couldn't understand this...

Because shielding is a reduction in proton-electron attraction which a chosen electron receives because of the presence of electrons occupying inner shells.
