The order of screening effect among \(s, p, d\) and \(f\)-orbitals of a given shell of an atom in its outer shell electrons is

  1. A \(s>p>d>f\)
  2. B \(f>d>p>s\)
  3. C \(p < d < s>f\)
  4. D \(d>f>p>s\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(s>p>d>f\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(s\) has the greatest effect to reduce the force of attraction between the outermost electron and nucleus due to its effective charge density followed by \(p>d>f\). So, according to the screening effect, \(s\) orbital being close to the nucleus lacks screening from any other…
