Expert Solution
Step 1

Effective nuclear charge is the net positive charge of the nucleus undergone by valence electrons in an atom. It is always lesser as compared to the expected nuclear charge due to a phenomenon called shielding.

The outer shell valence electrons are shielded by inner electrons and that's why valence electrons experience a lower effective nuclear charge.
