ATOMIC PHYSICS

Using Slater's rules to estimate the effective nuclear charge Z * by shielding in atoms of many electrons, obtain Z * for the following orbitals and atoms (list your results in a table and refer to the electron configurations of the base states in a Periodic Table ):

(a) from the electronic configuration of the atoms in the ground state to promote a valence electron to a 4p orbital traveling atoms from Zn (zinc, Z = 30) to Rb (rubidium, Z = 37);

(b) the same as in (a) but promoting the valence electron to a 5s orbital.
