Question:

As will be discussed in Chapter 21, core electrons shield valence electrons so that they experience an effective nuclear charge Zeff rather than the full nuclear charge. Given that the first ionization energy of Li is 5.39 eV, use the formula in Problem P20.20 to estimate the effective nuclear charge experienced by the 2s electron in Li.
