The shielding effect increases?
Correct answer: A. Down the Group
- A. Down the Group
- B. Along the period
- C. Diagonally
- D. Only along the d-block
Explanation
As you go down the group, the period number increases, thus a new subshell is added.This leads to an increased shielding effect as more subshells are present to lessen the nuclear attraction experienced by valence electrons.

About s-Block and p-Block Elements
The s and p blocks are studied through their valence-shell configurations, periodic trends and characteristic chemical properties. Work covers the reactions of Group I and Group II elements, the behaviour of Group IV elements, and how atomic size, ionization energy, electronegativity and metallic character change across periods and down groups.
