Question

Using Slater's rules, what is the effective nuclear charge (Z_eff) experienced by a valence 2p electron in a neutral ground-state Carbon atom (Z = 6)?
Options
A 3.25
Correct Answer
B 2.75
C 4.00
D 6.00
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The shielding constant S = (3 * 0.35) + (2 * 0.85) = 2.75. Therefore, Z_eff = Z - S = 6 - 2.75 = 3.25.
