Intervening electrons have a negative charge which repulses other electrons and _ attraction b/w nucleus and electrons.
Correct answer: B. Reduces
- A. Blocks
- B. Reduces
- C. Increases
- D. Enhances
Explanation
B Is correct as the shielding effect reduces the force of attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. The shielding effect basically decreases/reduces the pull of the nucleus on the outermost electrons as a result the outermost electrons feel less force of attraction.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
