Chemistry Unit 1 - Terms

Question 1

Nuclear Charge

Answer 1

Number of protons in the nucleus of an atom

Same as Core Charge

Question 2

Shielding

Answer 2

Reduced attraction between outer shell electrons and the nucleus becasue of inner shell electrons

Question 3

Effective Nucelar Charge

Answer 3

Effective pull of the nucleus on valence electrons

Question 4

Core Charge

Same as Nuclear Charge

Answer 4

Number of protons in the nucleus of an atom

Question 5

Shielding electron

Answer 5

The inner shell electrons that shield the ve- from the nucleus

Inner shell = every shell but the valence shell
