The shielding effect is also called:
Correct answer: B. Screening effect
- A. Zee effect
- B. Screening effect
- C. Negative effect
- D. Reducing effect
Explanation
The shielding effect is the reduction in the effective nuclear charge on the electron cloud, due to differences in the attraction forces between electrons and the nucleus. The shielding effect is also known as the 'Screening Effect'. Hence, there is no difference between these two terms. They primarily mean the same thing.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
