Atomic Structure and Electron Configuration Quiz

The more stable configuration would be the one in which the electron experiences a larger atomic number (Z).

The stability of the configuration is independent of the effective nuclear charge.

The more stable configuration would be the one in which the electron experiences a smaller effective nuclear charge (Zeff).
