Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11th Chemistry - Chapter Structure of Atom. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 1, Question 65: the unpaired electrons in al and si are present in....
Question 65

The unpaired electrons in Al and Si are present in 3p orbital. Which electrons will experience more effective nuclear charge from the nucleus?

Answer

Nuclear charge is defined as the net positive charge experienced by an electron in a multi-electron atom.

Silicon has greater nuclear charge(+14) than aluminium (+13).

Hence the unpaired 3p electron in case of silicon will experience more effective nuclear charge.
