what is slater's rule?

Answer 1

It's a way to estimate the effective nuclear charge. The link below shows you how to calculate it.

Answer 2

Slater's Rules for Effective Nuclear Charge
This set of simple rules for approximating the effective nuclear charge was proposed a number of years ago by Professor John C. Slater, a former faculty member at M.I.T.

Read through the rules carefully - all of the information you need is there. Work through the examples and verify that you get the same results.

Now use your knowledge of electron orbitals to rationalize the various rules. Derive the Zeff for the elements Li through Ne and compare your results with the experimental ionization energies and atomic radii for these elements. Are your calculations consistent with the experimental values for ionization and with the radii?

Calculate Zeff for the group IA elements. What do you find? How do you rationalize your results with the experimental ionization energies of these elements?

Answer 4

In an atom with many electrons, the outer electrons are simultaneously attracted to the positive nucleus and repelled by the negatively charged electrons. The effective nuclear charge on such an electron is given by the following equation:

Zeff = Z − S
where
Z is the number of protons in the nucleus and S is the average number of electrons between the nucleus and the electron in question, and
S can be found by the systematic application of various rule sets, the simplest of which is known as "Slater's rules" (for the scientist John C. Slater).

Slaters Rule: Slater-type orbitals (STOs) are functions used as atomic orbitals in the linear combination of atomic orbitals molecular orbital method. They are distinguished by the form of their radial component, which is given by

R(r) = Arle − αr
where
l is the angular momentum quantum number,
A is a normalization constant,
r is the distance of the electron from the atomic nucleus, and
α is a constant related to the effective charge of the atom in question.
They are named for physicist/chemist John C. Slater.
