NEET Chemistry Ionization Energy MCQ Question
What effect does shielding have on the ionization energy of an atom?
It decreases the effective nuclear charge felt by the valence electrons.
It increases the ionization energy of the atom.
It has no effect on ionization energy.
It makes the valence electrons more attracted to the nucleus.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Shielding reduces the effective nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons, making it easier to remove them, which in turn decreases the ionization energy.
