Use the following rule set. Slater's rules: write the configuration in groups $(1s)(2s,2p)(3s,3p)(3d)(4s,4p)(4d)(4f)(5s,5p)\dots$ For an electron in an $ns$ or $np$ group, every other electron in the same group contributes $0.35$ ($0.30$ for the $1s$ group), every electron in the $(n-1)$ shell contributes $0.85$, every electron in the $(n-2)$ or lower shells contributes $1.00$, and electrons in groups to the right contribute $0$. For an electron in an $nd$ or $nf$ group, every other electron in the same group contributes $0.35$, every electron in all groups to its left contributes $1.00$, and groups to the right contribute $0$. $Z^{\ast }=Z-S$. Silicon is $(1s{)}^2(2s,2p{)}^8(3s,3p{)}^4$ and germanium is $(1s{)}^2(2s,2p{)}^8(3s,3p{)}^8(3d{)}^{10}(4s,4p{)}^4$. The value of $Z^{\ast }(\mathrm{Ge})-Z^{\ast }(\mathrm{Si})$ for a valence $p$ electron is:

1. A3.00
2. B18.00
3. C0.65
4. D1.50
