JEE Main levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 2 of 3pt070

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 ions and are both . The Slater values for a electron of and respectively are:

  1. A5.75 and 7.75
  2. B7.75 and 5.75
  3. C7.40 and 5.40
  4. D11.00 and 9.00

Answer: B

Both have the same screening: . Hence and .
