Assuming the cannon can actually survive this, would the slug impact the ground with energy greater than the 50 kt nuclear charge?
32.
The outermost electron in lithium orbits at roughly Z = 1, since the two inner electrons reduce the nuclear charge by 2.
33.
Additionally, the effective nuclear charge has increased, and thus the electrons are attracted more strongly towards the nucleus and the ionic radius decreases.
34.
The reason for the greater magnitude in bond length change for silicon species over phosphorus species is the increased effective nuclear charge at phosphorus.
35.
In multi-electron atoms, the decrease in radius brought about by an increase in nuclear charge is partially offset by increasing electrostatic repulsion among electrons.
36.
As the nuclear charge of the nucleus increases across the period, the atomic radius decreases and the electron cloud becomes closer towards the nucleus.
37.
Three cargo Eagles are dispatched with nuclear charges, which must be deployed in space at the exact position now occupied by the Atherian vessel.
38.
The newspaper also quoted Nikolai Voloshin, the head of the ministry's nuclear weapons desk, as saying that nuclear charges themselves don't need any upgrading.
39.
These newly added electrons potentially occupy a lower energy-state ( effectively closer to more nuclear charge ) than they experience in a different atom.
40.
Each one sees the nuclear charge of Z = 3 minus the screening effect of the other, which crudely reduces the nuclear charge by 1 unit.
