Question

The Screening Effect is also called:

Options
  • A

    Shielding effect

  • B

    Transition effect

  • C

    Intervening effect

  • D

    Electronic effect

Explanation

The screening effect is also known as the "shielding effect" If the electron shells are wider in space, the interaction between the nucleus and electrons reduces. The order of screening effect in the shells is as follows: S > p > o > f. Nuclear fission is one of the best examples of the screening effect.
