What is the sheilding for electrons in d orbitals
Accepted Answer
Electrons in d orbitals experience shielding from inner electrons, particularly from s and p electrons. This shielding effect is less pronounced for d orbitals compared to s and p orbitals due to their more complex shapes and spatial distribution. The shielding experienced by d electrons can be influenced by factors like the number of inner electrons, the type of atom, and the specific d orbital in question. The greater the shielding, the less effectively the nucleus attracts the d electrons.
