Using the equation Zeff = Z - S and assuming that core electrons contribute 1.00 and valence electrons contribute 0.00 to the screening constant, S, calculate Zeff for the 2p electrons in F^- and Na^+

Question

Using the equation Zeff = Z - S and assuming that core electrons contribute 1.00 and valence electrons contribute 0.00 to the screening constant, S, calculate Zeff for the 2p electrons in F^- and Na^+
Repeat this calculation using Slater's rules to extimate the screening constant,S.

This seems to be just an exercise in subtraction; what do you not understand about it.

Chris · Answer

Using slater's rules: S = 4.15 Zeff F^- = 4.85 Zeff Na^+ = 6.85 *these answers are in e^-(electrons)*
