[QUOTE="BugzBunny, post: 6032163, member: 648889"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Given Slater's expression for effective charge below, determine the effective charge experienced by the valence electrons of Sb.[h2]Homework Equations[/h2] [I]Z[SUB]eff[/SUB] = Z - 0.35a - 0.85b - c[/I] Where Z= the nuclear charge; a= the number of s and p electrons in the same shell; b= the number of s and p electrons in the shell one deeper; c= the remaining electrons [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I have grouped the electron configuration as such: [1s[SUP]2[/SUP]] [2s[SUP]2[/SUP] 2p[SUP]6[/SUP]] [3s[SUP]2[/SUP] 3p[SUP]6[/SUP]] [3d[SUP]10[/SUP]] [4s[SUP]2[/SUP] 4p[SUP]6[/SUP]] [4d[SUP]10[/SUP]] [5s[SUP]2[/SUP] 5p[SUP]3[/SUP]] Z[SUB]eff[/SUB] = 51 - 0.35(4) - 0.85(18) - 28 = 6.3 Is this the correct interpretation? My course notes and the problem's formulation are ambiguous so that the 4d electrons could be construed as a factor of [I]b[/I] (× 0.85) or of [I]c [/I]([I]× [/I]1). Thank you for your help. [/QUOTE]
