INTRODUCTION:
(1s2) (2s2 2p6) (3s2 3p6) (3d10) (4s2 4p6) (4d10) (4f2)
(5s2 5p6) (6s2)
Thus, the last electron will enter in the 4s orbital , rather than the
3d orbital in case of Potassium atom.
S = 2 x 0.85 = 1.70
Z eff = Z – S = 3 – 1.70 = 1.30
S = 1 x 0.30 = 0.30
Z eff = Z – S = 3 – 0.30 = 2.70
Comparison of the Effective Nuclear Charge of Li atom
( Z eff = 1.30) and Li+ ion ( Z eff = 2.70), shows that
Effective nuclear charge of Li+ ion is more than Li atom.
So , the size of Li+ ion is smaller than Li atom.
