The Screening Effect is also called:
Correct answer: A. Shielding effect
- A. Shielding effect
- B. Transition effect
- C. Intervening effect
- D. Electronic effect
Explanation
The screening effect is also known as the "shielding effect" If the electron shells are wider in space, the interaction between the nucleus and electrons reduces. The order of screening effect in the shells is as follows: S > p > o > f. Nuclear fission is one of the best examples of the screening effect.

About Periodic Properties and Trends
Periodic properties arise from electron configuration and effective nuclear charge, producing trends in atomic and ionic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity, metallic character and reactivity. Comparisons run across periods and down groups, with attention to common exceptions. The topic also relates these trends to the behavior of s-block and p-block elements.
