JEE Main levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 2 of 3pt068

Use the following rule set. Slater's rules: write the configuration in groups For an electron in an or group, every other electron in the same group contributes ( for the group), every electron in the shell contributes , every electron in the or lower shells contributes , and electrons in groups to the right contribute . For an electron in an or group, every other electron in the same group contributes , every electron in all groups to its left contributes , and groups to the right contribute . . The effective nuclear charge on the electron of copper (; ) is:

  1. A5.20
  2. B3.70
  3. C1.00
  4. D3.35

Answer: B

No other electron is in the group. The shell has electrons: . The lower shells have electrons: . , so .
