:: Lead's valence level electrons are affected by a low effective nuclear charge which results in those electrons being more stable in metallic bonding situations than covalent bonds, at least in pure lead.
12.
Typically these neutral ligands, with form GaBr 3 L and sometimes GaBr 3 L 2, will form a tetrahedral bipyramidal geometric structure with the Br in an equatorial position due to their large effective nuclear charge.
13.
By measuring the characteristic lines the effective nuclear charge can be determined ( the charge affecting the innermost ( 1s ) electrons, generating energy levels similar as in the hydrogen atom, but at higher energies ).
14.
The "'effective nuclear charge "'( often symbolized as Z _ { \ mathrm { eff } } or Z ^ \ ast ) is the net positive charge experienced by an electron in a multi-electron atom.
15.
The alkaline earth metals are all silver-colored and soft, and have relatively low ionization energies in their respective periods of the periodic table because of their somewhat low effective nuclear charges and the ability to attain a full outer shell configuration by losing just two electrons.
16.
It's important to notice that this formula can be directly applied only to hydrogen-like, also called " hydrogenic " atoms of chemical elements, i . e . atoms with only one electron being affected by an effective nuclear charge ( which is easily estimated ).
17.
But the Rydberg formula also provides correct wavelengths for distant electrons, where the effective nuclear charge can be estimated as the same as that for hydrogen, since all but one of the nuclear charges have been screened by other electrons, and the core of the atom has an effective positive charge of + 1.
18.
Fm 3 + forms complexes with a wide variety of organic ligands with ionic in character : the Fm 3 + ion is expected to be smaller than the preceding An 3 + ions because of the higher effective nuclear charge of fermium, and hence fermium would be expected to form shorter and stronger metal ligand bonds.
19.
For example, while both Ce + 3 and Yb + 3 have a single unpaired " f " electron, Ce + 3 is much larger than Yb + 3 because lanthanides become much smaller with increasing effective nuclear charge as a consequence of the " f " electrons not being as well shielded as " d " electrons.
20.
The effective nuclear charge is approximately Z-1, where Z is the number of protons ( and if this is not accurate enough, neighboring elements in the periodic system have always an effective nuclear charge differing by approximately 1, so you can make the measurements for many elements until you have a complete series up to the element in question ) . talk ) 05 : 07, 6 December 2007 ( UTC)
