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 . . Neutral iron is and is with the electrons removed. The value of is:

  1. A1.05
  2. B0.00
  3. C3.00
  4. D0.35

Answer: D

In : , . In Fe: . The two electrons are in a group to the right of and never screen it, so only the loss of one electron () matters: difference .
