An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya
a
The force of the nucleus experienced by the electrons of valence shell is decreased by electrons of the inner core. It is called Screening or Shielding effect.
b
The valence electrons 2s1 of Li experience a force of nucleus less than applied by +3 charge of protons due to 1s2 pair.
c
From Li to F the shielding effect of core electrons remains the same. Increase in one electron in same valence shell and one proton in nucleus increase the attraction of valence shell and nucleus o decrease the size.
