Effective Nuclear Charge Calculator
The Effective Nuclear Charge Calculator helps you determine the effective nuclear charge (Z_eff) on an electron in an atom. It calculates the net positive charge experienced by an electron, accounting for shielding effects from other electrons.
Calculate the Effective Nuclear Charge
What is Effective Nuclear Charge Calculator?
The Effective Nuclear Charge (Z_eff) is the net positive charge experienced by an electron in an atom. This calculator computes the Z_eff using the formula: Z_eff = Z - S, where Z is the atomic number and S is the shielding electrons.
How to Use Effective Nuclear Charge Calculator?
To use this calculator, simply enter the atomic number (Z) of the element and the number of shielding electrons (S). The calculator will compute the effective nuclear charge for you.
What is the Formula of Effective Nuclear Charge?
The formula to calculate Effective Nuclear Charge is: Z_eff = Z - S, where Z is the atomic number and S is the number of shielding electrons.
