Q. Which of the following statements is true about effective nuclear charge?

Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties

Solution:

The periodic table tendency for effective nuclear charge: Increase across a period (due to increasing nuclear charge with no accompanying increase in shielding effect). Decrease down a group (although nuclear charge increases down a group, shielding effect more than counters its effect).
