Chemistry Week 10 Lecture Notes: o Energy: affected by: -‐ Size: (n)à shielding; Z; Electron Repulsion -‐ Shape (l) à penetration Two Types of Shielding: 1. Electrons in the same energy level shield each other 2. Electrons in the inner level of energy shield the outer electrons very effectively Penetration: o Different orbitals are different distances away from the nucleus o More stable = closer to the nucleus= high penetration o Farther from the nucleus à easier to move electro
