Chapter 1, Problem 53E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The smaller ion from ${\text{Cl}}^{-}$ and ${\text{K}}^{+}$ .

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The value of $Z_{\text{eff}}$ for the outermost electrons in ${\text{Cl}}^{-}$ and ${\text{K}}^{+}$ by assuming core electrons contribution $\text{1}\text{.00}$ and valence electron contribution $\text{0}\text{.00}$ to the screening constant.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The value of $S$ for the outermost electrons in ${\text{Cl}}^{-}$ and ${\text{K}}^{+}$ by using Slater’s rule.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The relation between effective nuclear charge and ionic radius for isoelectronic species.
