What value do you estimate for zeff experienced by the outermost electron in both na and k by assuming core electrons contribute 1.00 and valence electrons contribute 0.00 to the screening constant?

Respuesta :

We know that both Sodium atom (Na) and Potassium atom (K) are alkali metal. They are called as alkali metal due to the ability to form an alkali or a base namely NaOH and KOH of these metals. If we assume that all inner electrons shield to the same degree, then any alkali metal will have a Zeff of +1.
