Consider the iso-electronic ions Cl- and K+.
(a) Which ion is smaller?
(b) Using Equation 7.1 and assuming that core electrons contribute 1.00 and valence electrons contribute nothing to the screening constant, S, calculate Zeff for these two ions.
(c) Repeat this calculation using Slater's rules to estimate the screening constant, S.
(d) For iso-electronic ions, how are effective nuclear charge and ionic radius related?
