Which of the following statements about applying Slater's rules are correct?

  1. AEach electron screens a electron by .
  2. BFor a electron, each electron of the subshell contributes to the screening constant.
  3. CFor a electron, each electron in the and subshells contributes .
  4. DFor a electron, each other electron of the or subshell contributes .

Answer: B, C

For an electron the shell gives each, so the first statement is true. For an electron every electron in groups to the left gives , so the second is true. The same-group value is (only uses ), and groups to the right (such as for a electron) contribute .
