Which electrons experience a greater effective nuclear charge: the valence electrons in beryllium or the valence electrons in nitrogen? Why?
Which would experience a higher effective nuclear charge and why? I. A valence electron in a sulfur (S) atom II. A valence electron in a selenium (Se) atom III. They experience the same effective nuclear charge because IV. the nucleus contains more protons. V. the valence electrons are closer to the nucleus. VI. the number of protons in the nucleus not shielded by core electrons is the same.
