What does the Slater rule state regarding the stability of electron configuration?
What does the Slater rule state regarding the stability of electron configuration?
- 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).
- The more stable configuration would be the one in which the electron experiences a larger effective nuclear charge (Zeff). (correct)
