. The electrons present in
outermost shell are attracted by nucleus and repelled by electrons present in inner orbitals, it is known as shielding
effect. But it is relatively more difficult to remove the electron from s-orbital in comparison of p-orbital as we move
from top to bottom along the group due to poor shielding effect of d- and f-orbitls. The two electrons present in s-
orbitals are known as inert pair.
