The Valence Electrons of an Atom of Which Element would feel a Greater Effective Nuclear Charge than the Valence?
kumpel [21]
The effective nuclear charge is an innate property of a specific element. It is the pull of force that an electron feels from the nucleus. It is related to the valence electron by the equation: Z* = Z-S, where Z* is the effective nuclear charge, Z is the atomic number and S is the shielding constant.

For the following elements in the choices, these are their values of Z*:

Aluminum - +12.591
Beryllium - +1.912
Hydrogen - +1
Carbon - +4

The effective nuclear charge of Boron is +3. Thus, the answers are  Aluminum and Carbon.
